Local notes

Chimneys in Menlo Park homes

The oldest Menlo Park chimneys, in Allied Arts and the Willows, are brick from the 1920s to 1940s, some unlined, and cracked tiles and missing caps are common. Sharon Heights homes burn a lot of wood and sit under oaks near the wildfire interface. The 1950s ranches have conventional masonry with tile liners.

Creosote is what wood smoke leaves on the inside of a flue, and enough of it will burn. We seal the fireplace opening, run rotary brushes up the flue from the bottom with a vacuum on the firebox, then clean the smoke shelf and damper where the heaviest deposits settle. You see what came down.

Air and dust in Menlo Park

Menlo Park runs from the baylands to the foothills. Belle Haven and the Bayfront side get fine dust from the salt flats in late summer, and Sharon Heights sits under oaks with heavy spring pollen and near the wildfire interface. The 2020 fire season kept the city in the unhealthy range for weeks.

FAQ

Chimney Sweep in Menlo Park: questions

Can you sweep a 1920s chimney in Allied Arts?
Yes. We seal the opening, sweep the full flue, clean the smoke shelf and check the damper, then tell you what we see. If the flue is unlined or we see cracked tiles we recommend a mason and a Level 2 camera inspection, which we do not do ourselves.
My Sharon Heights home has two fireplaces. What does it cost?
$149 per flue, so $298 for two on one visit.
When should I book a chimney sweep in Menlo Park?
September or October, before the first cold evening. Fall slots fill fastest.
How long does a chimney sweep take?
About 45 to 60 minutes for a standard fireplace. Heavily glazed flues or tall two-story masonry chimneys can take 90 minutes.
How often should a chimney be swept?
Once a year if you burn regularly through the winter, and before the first fire after a long break. If you burn a few times a year, every two seasons is fine as long as the smoke shelf looks clean.
Will sweeping make a mess?
No. The fireplace opening is sealed and a vacuum runs the entire time, so soot goes into the vacuum instead of the room. We clean the hearth before we leave.
Do you inspect the chimney?
We do a visual check of the firebox, flue interior and cap where we can reach them, and we tell you plainly what we see. We do not run a camera, so for a real estate transaction or a suspected crack you need a Level 2 inspection from a chimney inspector.
