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 Pedley, CA
Chimney repair in Pedley usually means working on 1950s and 1960s masonry fireplaces that have been through decades of hot Riverside County summers and cool winter burn cycles. We see cracked crowns, spalling firebox brick, and rusted-out dampers far more often than we see anything wrong with modern prefab units. If your chimney needs work or you just want it inspected before the first cold snap, call Ontario Chimney at (833) 467-7685 and we’ll take a look.
Why Pedley Homes Are Different
Pedley sits in the Jurupa Valley area where winter nights drop into the 30s and 40s, and a lot of homes still lean on wood-burning fireplaces for real supplemental heat. That is not occasional ambience. That is burn season, and it builds creosote fast. When you add the dry, hot summers that bake mortar and crack chimney crowns, a chimney in Pedley takes more structural stress in a single year than a coastal chimney sees in five.
The housing stock matters here too. Most of Pedley’s homes went up between the 1950s and 1970s as single-story ranch and tract builds. Those original masonry fireplaces are aging, and many have non-standard flue sizes we have to measure carefully before recommending any liner work. On the larger rural lots off the main roads, we regularly find freestanding wood stoves tied into homemade or undersized flue runs that were never permitted. Those need real inspection before the Santa Ana wind season pushes everyone to fire up their stoves at once.
What that means for a sweep or repair: we are not just brushing soot. We are checking mortar joints, crown condition, flashing, and the flue path from firebox to cap, because in Pedley all of those fail together over time.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pedley Services
Most Pedley homeowners call us for one of two things: a chimney sweep before burn season, or dryer vent cleaning when the lint buildup becomes a fire risk. Both are maintenance work, but one lives in the chimney and the other lives in the wall.
Chimney Sweep in Pedley
A proper sweep in Pedley removes the creosote that builds up fast when you burn regularly through fall and winter. On older ranch homes we are also looking at the firebox brick, damper operation, and flue condition while we work, because a sweep is often when we find the cracks and gaps that turn into bigger repairs. Given how dry our summers are, we also watch for signs of water intrusion at the crown and flashing. If you burn wood in Pedley, this is the service to book before November. Chimney Sweep in Pedley covers everything we check and clean.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pedley
Dryer vents in Pedley collect lint fast, especially in single-story homes with longer vent runs through the attic or exterior wall. Lint is combustible, and a clogged vent is one of the leading causes of house fires according to the NFPA. On rural lots, we also find vents that terminate in awkward spots or have bird screens full of debris. We treat this as a standalone safety service, not an add-on to a sweep. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pedley explains exactly what we do and how often Pedley homes need it.

Chimney Repair in Pedley
Chimney repair in Pedley comes down to the age of the fireplaces here. Most were built between the 1950s and 1970s, and the original mortar, crowns, and dampers are reaching the end of their service life. Add in years of hot, dry summers that shrink and crack masonry plus regular wood burning in winter, and you get the kinds of failures we see every week: crumbling crowns, flashing that has pulled away from the roofline, and liners with gaps or cracks that should have been addressed years ago. Ontario Chimney handles the full repair scope, from a rusted damper to a full reline, so you deal with one company from inspection through completion.

Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You have no cap at all, or your existing cap is rusted through and letting rain, birds, or debris into the flue.
What it costs in Pedley
Chimney cap installation in Pedley typically runs $180 – $320 depending on the flue size and whether we need a custom mounting bracket for an older clay tile flue.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening, select a properly sized cap from Gelco or Famco, and secure it so it stays put through Santa Ana wind gusts.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You see water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, damp spots on the masonry, or flashing metal that has lifted, rusted, or separated from the roof line.
What it costs in Pedley
Flashing repair runs $350 – $650 in Pedley depending on how much of the existing flashing has to be cut out and replaced.
How we do it
We remove the damaged sections, install new step and counter flashing sealed to the roof surface, and confirm the water path drains away from the flue.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The concrete crown has visible cracks, is crumbling at the edges, or has spalled enough that water pools on top of the chimney instead of running off.
What it costs in Pedley
Crown repair in Pedley ranges from $300 – $600 when the masonry is intact but cracked, or more if we need to rebuild the crown entirely.
How we do it
We clean out the cracks, apply a properly sloped patch or full recast with drainage built in, and check that the flue tile is still sealed around the opening.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Pedley
| Item | Typical range in Pedley |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $180 – $320 |
| Flashing repair | $350 – $650 |
| Crown repair | $300 – $600 |
Do I really need to repair my chimney crown, or can it wait?
A cracked crown can wait a season if the cracks are hairline, but any visible separation or crumbling means water is getting in now. In Pedley’s dry climate, the damage compounds slowly year-round. Repointing minor cracks now prevents a full crown rebuild later.
How long does a chimney liner last in a Pedley home?
A properly installed stainless liner like DuraFlex can last 20 years or more, but older clay tile liners in 1960s Pedley homes are often already cracked. We scope the flue and show you the images before recommending any liner work. Call (833) 467-7685 for an inspection.
Brands We Service in Pedley
We install and service DuraFlex stainless steel liner systems, HeatShield ceramic flue resurfacing, and components from Famco and Copperfield. We stock common cap and damper parts for the older flue sizes we find across Pedley, so most repairs do not wait on a parts order. Our brands page lists the full range.

Prices in Pedley move with flue size and access. Older ranch homes with steep rooflines or non-standard flue dimensions take longer to work on safely, and rural lots sometimes mean longer ladder runs or awkward roof pitches. We give you a flat price after the inspection, not after the work starts, so you know the number before you approve anything.
