Chimney & Fireplace Services In Fullerton CA
Fullerton homeowners have trusted Oliver Twist Chimney & Fireplace for chimney sweeping, repairs and installations since 1987. We’re a licensed Orange County chimney company, and we take on the difficult jobs that a lot of contractors turn away.
Here’s how we can help.
Chimney Sweeping
Active chimneys need sweeping about once a year. Two things make this necessary: creosote and obstructions.
Creosote: A flammable substance that forms when smoke condenses inside the flue. It’s the leading cause of chimney fires in Fullerton and across Orange County.
Obstructions: Leaves, twigs and animal nests can narrow the flue and send smoke or carbon monoxide back into your home instead of up the chimney.
Oliver Twist is a proud member of the Golden State Chimney Sweep Guild, and our crews bring years of hands-on experience to every Fullerton job.
Chimney Repairs
When your chimney system is broken or malfunctioning, our repair crews get to the bottom of it fast. Fullerton has a mix of older and newer housing stock, and we handle both:
- Chimney cap and chase top repair and replacement
- Chimney crown rebuilding and sealing
- Brick replacement and tuckpointing
- Chimney liner repair with Thermocrete
- Chimney flashing installation
- Chimney waterproofing
- Fireplace damper repair and replacement
- Firebox repair and rebuilding
- Rampart General chimney evaluation
All repair work is done by our own crews, never subcontracted, and every job complies with California state and Fullerton city codes.
Chimney Inspections
A proper inspection performed once a year can catch small problems before they become expensive ones. We provide all three NFPA-recognized levels.
Level 1: A basic inspection covering all readily accessible parts of the chimney system.
Level 2: Includes video imaging, and is typically required when a home is being sold, an appliance is being swapped, or damage from a chimney fire is suspected.
Level 3: A full-scale inspection performed when significant damage is already known to exist.
Fireplace & Stove Installations
Thinking about a new fireplace, stove or insert for your Fullerton home? We’ll help you pick the right appliance and install it ourselves, covering:
- Manufactured fireplaces
- Free-standing heating stoves
- Fireplace inserts
- Gas log sets
Every installation complies with California state and City of Fullerton building and fire safety codes, and we’ll walk you through care and maintenance once the job is done.
Why Fullerton Homeowners Trust Oliver Twist
We’ve been doing this work since 1987, which puts us in Fullerton homes long before most of today’s competitors existed. We’re members of the National Chimney Sweep Guild, certified through the Golden State Chimney Sweep Guild, and our inspectors hold F.I.R.E. certification. When a job is bigger than a routine sweep, a cracked crown, a failing liner, a full masonry rebuild, we’re one of the few local companies that will actually take it on.
Fullerton Chimney & Fireplace FAQ
How often should I have my chimney swept in Fullerton, CA?
Once a year for any chimney that gets regular use. Skipping a season lets creosote build up, and creosote causes most chimney fires in the Fullerton area.
Do I need a chimney inspection before selling a home in Fullerton?
Yes, in most cases. A Level 2 inspection with video imaging is standard for real estate transactions and is often requested during escrow. Oliver Twist performs Level 2 real estate inspections throughout Fullerton and can usually schedule within a few days.
Is Oliver Twist licensed to work on chimneys in Fullerton?
Yes. We’re a licensed California contractor, fully insured, and our crews complete all three NFPA-recognized inspection levels. We do all repair work ourselves and every job complies with California state and Fullerton city codes.
What’s the biggest chimney problem you see in Fullerton homes?
Cracked chimney crowns and aging masonry. Fullerton has a lot of housing stock from the 1950s through the 1970s, and original crowns and mortar joints are often overdue for repair by now. We also see plenty of animal intrusion in chimneys that sit unused for a season or more.
What does a chimney sweep cost in Fullerton?
It depends on chimney access, flue condition and how long it’s been since the last service. Call (714) 843-9944 and we’ll give you a straight quote for your specific Fullerton home before any work begins.
