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 Irwindale, CA
Chimney repair in Irwindale usually means addressing wind-driven dust damage, aging masonry on 1950s-1970s stucco homes, and liners that have absorbed decades of quarry-area air. Ontario Chimney has served Irwindale since 2014, and the work here is different from neighboring San Gabriel Valley cities. The repair jobs we see most often start small: a cracked crown, a loose cap after a Santa Ana event, water staining near the roofline. Left alone, those turn into liner failures and firebox damage that cost far more than the original fix. Call (833) 467-7685 and we’ll diagnose it properly.
Why Irwindale Homes Are Different
Irwindale sits surrounded by industrial gravel quarries, asphalt plants, and cement operations. That geography changes chimney work in measurable ways. Fine silica and aggregate dust settles on roofs throughout the 91722 zip code, then gets drawn into flues every time a fireplace burns. The dust mixes with creosote and forms a gritty, abrasive deposit that hardens faster than the soft, fluffy creosote you’d see in Arcadia or Temple City. Technicians here routinely pry caps off and find them packed with gray quarry powder, especially after a Santa Ana wind event pushes dust into every gap. Homes near the gravel pits need caps and screens checked more often than their interior flues do.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Most Irwindale homes are older single-family stucco tract houses built between the 1950s and 1970s. Many still have their original masonry fireplaces or prefab inserts that have never had a proper inspection. Mobile homes make up a substantial part of Irwindale too, and those chimneys or venting systems often use older components that were never designed for this much airborne grit. Dry summers bake chimney crowns until hairline cracks open. Cool winter nights bring fireplaces into regular use. That cycle, repeated year after year on a 60-year-old chimney, is exactly how a $400 repair becomes a $4,000 one.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Irwindale Services
Most Irwindale homeowners call us for one of two reasons: they want a fireplace that works safely through winter, or they want a dryer vent that isn’t a fire hazard. Both are core services for us, not add-ons.
Chimney Sweep in Irwindale
A sweep in Irwindale starts with the same problem every time: quarry dust. We remove the creosote and the caked silica grit that ordinary brushes struggle with, then check the cap and screen because that’s where Irwindale chimneys fail first. A clean flue with a clogged cap is still a dangerous flue. Chimney Sweep in Irwindale
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Irwindale
Dryer vents in Irwindale clog with lint, but also with the same fine dust that coats everything else in the 91722. Longer vent runs in older stucco homes make it worse. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, verify airflow, and document the before-and-after because landlords and property managers across Irwindale need that record.

Chimney Repair in Irwindale
Chimney repair in Irwindale comes down to two forces: wind and water. The Santa Anas drive dust and debris into caps and flues, and the dry summers bake crowns until they crack. When a crown cracks, water gets into the masonry, and a 1960s chimney absorbs it like a sponge. Ontario Chimney approaches every repair with the same rule: show the homeowner the evidence, then fix what actually needs fixing. Our full scope runs from the flue liner to the cap, so the person who finds the damage is the same one who repairs it. We install DuraFlex stainless liner systems when a liner has failed, and we use HeatShield ceramic resurfacing when the flue can be saved without a tear-out. That’s the Chimney Repair work we do across Irwindale, from a simple cap swap to a full reline.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You can see daylight through the top of your flue with no cap in place, or you find rusted cap fragments on the roof after a Santa Ana.
What it costs in Irwindale
Chimney cap installation in Irwindale typically falls between $300 and $700, depending on flue size and access.
How we do it
We measure the flue, install a correctly sized stainless cap with a proper screen, and secure it so Irwindale’s wind events can’t lift it.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Your chimney inspector found cracks or gaps in the clay tile liner, or flue gases are leaking into walls and living space.
What it costs in Irwindale
Chimney liner installation in Irwindale typically runs $2,500 to $5,000 for a standard single-flue reline with professional-grade materials.
How we do it
We size the liner to the appliance, run a DuraFlex stainless liner down the flue, insulate it, and connect it properly to the appliance.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains appear on the ceiling near the fireplace after rain, or you see rusted, lifted flashing where the chimney meets the roof.
What it costs in Irwindale
Chimney flashing repair in Irwindale typically costs $400 to $1,200, depending on whether we re-seal joints or replace the flashing.
How we do it
We remove the old flashing, install new step and counter flashing, seal with professional-grade caulk, and water-test the repair.

Can you fix a cracked chimney crown without rebuilding the whole chimney?
Yes, in most cases we repair the crown by removing loose material and applying a proper crown coat. We only recommend rebuild work if the masonry beneath has shifted.
How long does a chimney liner last in Irwindale’s dusty air?
A properly installed stainless liner should last 20 to 25 years even with quarry dust exposure. The protective cap and regular sweeping matter more than the dust itself.
Brands We Service in Irwindale
We work with a curated set of professional-grade brands that certified chimney professionals specify: DuraFlex for stainless liner systems, HeatShield for ceramic resurfacing, and Famco for caps and dampers. You won’t find these on a hardware-store shelf, and that’s the point. We stock the common parts locally, so most Irwindale jobs don’t wait on shipping. Our brands
