Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Tujunga, CA
Chimney work in Tujunga is different from the flatland communities over the hill, and it comes down to three things: foothill wind, sloped lots, and fireplaces that actually get used. A standard chimney sweep in Tujunga typically runs $189 to $349, and most homes here need an inspection as often as a cleaning because creosote builds faster when Santa Ana winds dry the flue between fires. Every job gets a written price before any work starts, and the number on the invoice is the number you approved. Call Flint Chimney Co Pasadena at (626) 657-5513.
Why Tujunga Homes Are Different
Tujunga sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, and that location shapes nearly every chimney we work on. Most homes here were built between the 1950s and 1980s as single-family ranch or split-level houses with masonry chimneys, and many still have their original clay tile flue liners. Clay tiles crack over time, and hillside construction means chimney stacks are often taller and harder to reach than what you’d find in Burbank or Glendale.
The bigger issue is wind. Strong Santa Ana events in fall and winter push smoke back down chimneys and dry out creosote deposits faster than normal, which raises fire risk and can make a fireplace draft poorly even when the flue is clean. Homes on the east side of Tujunga, closer to the mountain grade, tend to accumulate more creosote because those fireplaces get used as primary heat during cold snaps. The flatter western section sees more nesting debris from birds moving into unused flues. Neither problem shows up the same way on flatland chimneys, so we don’t clean Tujunga chimneys the same way we’d clean one two miles south.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Tujunga Services
Most Tujunga homeowners call us for two things: a sweep before burning season starts in late fall, and an inspection when a chimney hasn’t been opened in years or a home is changing hands. Each service has its own page with full detail, and every one starts with a written price.
Chimney Sweep in Tujunga
A sweep in Tujunga removes the creosote and soot that build up inside the flue, plus any nesting material birds have left behind. On hillside chimneys, expect the job to take longer than a flat lot would, because the extra stack height and roof pitch change how we position the ladder and run the brush. We also check the cap and crown while we’re up there, since Santa Ana winds knock things loose. Full detail is on the Chimney Sweep in Tujunga page.
Chimney Inspection in Tujunga
Tujunga’s older clay tile liners are the main reason inspections matter here. A cracked liner can’t be seen from the hearth, and by the time a homeowner notices smoke backing into the house, the damage has usually been building for a season or two. We run a camera up the flue and give you a written report with photos, so you see exactly what we see before deciding on any repair. Details are on the Chimney Inspection in Tujunga page.
Chimney Repair in Tujunga
When a Tujunga chimney needs work, it’s usually one of three things: a cracked flue liner, a damaged crown, or a cap that Santa Ana winds ripped loose. We write the scope and price before touching anything, and every repair carries a written one-year guarantee. If a covered repair fails inside that year, we come back at no charge. All specifics are on the Chimney Repair in Tujunga page.

Structural work like rebuilding a firebox or replacing a full masonry stack can require city permits, which vary by scope and property type. Routine sweeps and inspections don’t. We’ll tell you before any repair starts whether a permit is needed on your specific job.
Yes. Steep driveways, tight access, and tall stacks are standard for Tujunga, and we bring the ladders and staging that work on sloped lots. If fire truck access is tight on your street, our equipment still fits.
