Home Chimney Removal in Carlsbad, CA

 It should come as no surprise that most Southern California home owners don’t use their fireplace.  Many times an unused fireplace simply becomes a holding area for pictures or plants, an obligatory  decoration itself, or simply an inefficient waste of space. On the other side of the wall, the chimney typically presents the same problem. Depending on its location, an unused chimney can take up several  square feet of usable space on a side yard or back yard. There are several different types of chimneys, and some can be compromised over time due to weather, California land movement, material integrity, or time itself. Between 1968 and 1991 many homes in Southern California were built with pre-cast concrete chimneys. These chimneys today can be a serious fire hazard to homes if they are cracked and still being used. For that reason alone, they are no longer used on new homes. Other types of chimneys  include brick and mortar, concrete block and mortar, or stucco covered wood framed chimneys with a steel chimney pipe, or flue inside. Although most chimneys are located on a perimeter wall, many are located somewhere in the middle of the home. In any case, whether it’s just the fireplace or the fireplace and the chimney, they can be removed. J.B.
