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 Yorba Linda, CA
Limestone Chimney Sweep is the full-service chimney company Yorba Linda homeowners call for repairs that other sweeps won’t touch. Most of our work in this city starts as a chimney repair: cracked crowns on 1980s hillside tracts, spalled clay-tile flues in ranch-era homes, and rusted-out prefab metal units in 92886 and 92887 that have simply aged past their service life. We carry the materials to fix what we find, including DuraFlex liners and HeatShield restoration systems, and we stock the caps, dampers, and flashing components these foothill homes need. Call (855) 341-5439 when you need someone who can diagnose and repair, not just clean and report.
Why Yorba Linda Homes Are Different
Yorba Linda’s foothill terrain changes what chimney work looks like here, in ways that inland neighbors like Anaheim never deal with. The hillside tracts built from the 1970s through the 1990s are heavy with masonry fireplaces and early prefab metal units that are now 30 to 50 years old. Those prefab units were never designed to last this long, and we regularly find rust-through at the flue seams and warped fireboxes in these homes. Down in the older ranch-era core, original clay-tile flues are common, and decades of heating and cooling cycles leave them spalled: flaking, cracked, and no longer smooth enough to vent safely.
The canyon-edge lots east of the city add another layer. Homes in the wildland-urban interface sit under Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone rules that require spark arrestors on chimney terminations, and those arrestors collect wind-blown debris year-round. Between Santa Ana wind seasons, we see arrestors so packed with leaves, twigs, and embers from previous brush-fire seasons that the flue can barely draft. Fireplace chimneys that sit idle through the hot, dry months accumulate hardened creosote and become nesting sites. When the first cold snap hits Yorba Linda in November or December, we get a flood of calls from homeowners whose fireplaces won’t draw because a pest nest or a clogged arrestor is in the way. That rush is real, and it’s why we book chimney work here year-round, not just during burn season.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Yorba Linda Services
Two services account for most of the Yorba Linda calls we take: chimney sweeping and dryer vent cleaning. Both are fire-safety visits, and both are handled by the same Limestone Chimney Sweep crews who do repair work, so if a sweep turns up something that needs fixing, we can quote it on the spot.
Chimney Sweep in Yorba Linda
A Yorba Linda chimney sweep appointment means removing the creosote, soot, and debris that accumulate in flues that sit idle for months during our hot, dry summers. We also clear spark arrestors, which is a bigger part of the job here than in most cities because of the canyon-edge terrain and the ember-load that lands on these homes. A clean, unobstructed flue is the first requirement for safe wood-burning, and in a city where many homes sit inside or near fire-hazard severity zones, it’s also a documentation issue. See the full scope on our Chimney Sweep in Yorba Linda page, including what we inspect and what the job costs.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Yorba Linda
Dryer vents are the appliance-fire cause people forget about until an inspector or an appliance tech flags it. Yorba Linda’s older ranch homes often have long, multi-bend dryer duct runs that trap lint, and the foothill wind can push that lint back toward the dryer itself. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, clear blockages, and verify the vent cap is sealing. Read the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Yorba Linda page for pricing, signs of a clogged vent, and how often we recommend service in this part of Orange County.

Chimney Repair in Yorba Linda
Most chimney repair work in Yorba Linda comes down to one of two problems: water getting in where it shouldn’t, or a flue that’s no longer safe to vent through. The hillside homes in 92886 and 92887 were built in waves from the 1970s through the 1990s, which means a lot of original chimney crowns are cracked, a lot of prefab metal flues are rusted through, and a lot of clay-tile flues have spalled to the point where they need resurfacing or a liner. Limestone Chimney Sweep has served Yorba Linda since 2014, and we do the repair work most cleaning-only companies refer out. If you need a deeper look at the full Chimney Repair service line, that page covers the mechanics and materials in detail. Here’s what we see most in Yorba Linda specifically.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You find rain, birds, or debris dropping into the firebox, or you can see rust streaking down the chimney chase from an old cap that’s letting water in.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Chimney cap installation in Yorba Linda typically runs $180 – $340 depending on the cap size and whether the flue termination needs any correction before we set it.
How we do it
We match the cap to your flue dimensions, set it with mechanical fasteners rather than adhesive alone, and confirm it’s not choking the draft while we’re up there.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
You see hairline cracks across the concrete crown, spalling or pitting at the edges, or water stains working down the face of the chimney.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Chimney crown repair in Yorba Linda ranges $380 – $750 depending on how much of the crown needs to be rebuilt and whether we’re sealing or resurfacing the rest.
How we do it
We remove loose material, rebuild the crown with a proper wash slope so water runs away from the flue, and apply a waterproof sealant rated for chimney exposure.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You notice water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, damp drywall around the chase, or visible gaps and lifted metal at the roofline.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Chimney flashing repair in Yorba Linda runs $300 – $650, with the higher end covering step flashing replacement and re-bedding into the mortar line.
How we do it
We lift the existing flashing, inspect the underlayment, install new step and counter flashing in the correct order, and seal the transition so water sheds away from the penetration.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
A camera inspection shows cracked flue tiles, missing mortar joints, or a rusted-out metal flue, and you’re getting smoke pushback or visible flue fragments in the firebox.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Chimney liner installation in Yorba Linda typically lands between $2,500 and $5,000, mostly driven by flue height and whether we’re relining for a wood burner or a gas appliance.
How we do it
We measure the full flue run, install a correctly sized DuraFlex stainless liner or restore the existing flue with HeatShield where the structure allows, and insulate per code before we test the draft.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Yorba Linda
| Item | Typical range in Yorba Linda |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $180 – $340 |
| Chimney crown repair | $380 – $750 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $300 – $650 |
Liner installation is the big-ticket item and gets its own line because the range is wide enough that a single table row would be misleading. In Yorba Linda, the two things that push repair costs up are access and existing damage: steep slopes and tile roofs make roofline work slower, and a chase that’s been leaking for years always costs more to correct than one caught early.
How much does chimney repair cost in Yorba Linda?
Most Yorba Linda repairs fall between $180 and $750 for caps, crowns, and flashing, while a full liner install runs $2,500 to $5,000. Call (855) 341-5439 and we’ll give you a written quote based on what we find, not a phone estimate.
Do I really need a new liner, or can it be restored?
Not every damaged flue needs a full tear-out. We’re HeatShield-certified and can resurface certain flues from the inside, which costs less and preserves the original structure. We’ll show you the camera footage either way before we recommend anything.
Brands We Service in Yorba Linda
We install and work on DuraFlex liner systems, HeatShield flue restoration, Gelco and Olympia Chimney caps and termination components, plus Famco and Copperfield dampers and ventilation parts. That means the parts we quote for your Yorba Linda chimney are named, warrantied components from our brands, not whatever the hardware store had in stock. We keep common caps, dampers, and liner components on our trucks, which shortens turnaround on most repairs.

What pushes a Yorba Linda job to the higher end of a range is usually the house itself: two-story hillside chases, tile roofs that slow roofline work, and older prefab units that need more disassembly to access the flue. We give flat-price quotes before we start, and we don’t tack on surprise line items when the job happens to take an extra hour.

What Yorba Linda Customers Say
"Liner was cracked in two places. He walked me through the repair options honestly, including the one that was cheaper for him and better for me."
— Kurt Sutton"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
— Ramon Ramirez"Drop cloths everywhere, HEPA vac, and not a speck of soot on the carpet. I'd been dreading the mess for nothing."
