Santa Ana Chimney Sweep

Since 1987, Oliver Twist Chimney & Fireplace has been the name Santa Ana, CA, residents trust for all chimney and fireplace services. Whether it’s chimney cleaning and repair or the installation of a lovely new fireplace or stove, count on our licensed crews to do it right the first time.

Chimney Sweeping Santa Ana

Chimney sweeping is a critical part of maintaining a chimney. Throughout Orange County, most chimney fires each year are caused by ignited creosote that’s built up in the flue. We use commercial chimney sweep equipment to remove flammable creosote.

We also remove buildups of leaves, twigs and the nesting material of small animals, all of which can hinder drafting and send smoke and deadly carbon monoxide into your Santa Ana home.

Oliver Twist is certified through the Golden State Chimney Sweep Guild.

Chimney Repairs

When you’re having a problem with your chimney system, it’s important to get the answers you need quickly. Our chimney repair technicians work throughout the greater Santa Ana region to provide solutions for every type of chimney problem.

Level 1: Standard inspection of all readily accessible areas of your chimney system.

Level 2: An inspection that includes video imaging when:

You’re adding a new appliance to vent through your chimney
A chimney fire or other event may have caused damage
The home is on the market for sale

Level 3: A thorough inspection when severe system damage exists. Level 3 inspections often involve the removal of parts of the chimney and adjacent home building materials.

Regular chimney inspections can save you thousands of dollars on costly repairs.

Santa Ana Chimney & Fireplace FAQ

How often should I have my chimney swept in Santa Ana, 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 Santa Ana area each year.

Do I need a chimney inspection before selling a home in Santa Ana?

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 the greater Santa Ana region.

Is Oliver Twist licensed to work on chimneys in Santa Ana?

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 Santa Ana city codes.

What’s the biggest chimney problem you see in Santa Ana homes?

Cracked chimney crowns and deteriorating masonry from age. Many Santa Ana homes were built decades ago, and the original crown or mortar joints are often due for repair. We also see a fair amount of Rampart General pre-cast chimney damage in the area.
