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 Lennox, CA
Chimney repair in Lennox usually comes down to one thing: cracked clay flue tiles in a pre-war stucco house that’s been breathing damp marine air for 80-plus years. Most of the chimneys we work on in this unincorporated LA County island were built between the 1920s and 1950s, and they show it. We handle the full repair scope, from spalled crowns to liner replacement, and we start every job with a camera inspection so you can see exactly what’s wrong before any work is approved. Call us at (866) 520-4943 to schedule an inspection.
Why Lennox Homes Are Different
Lennox sits close enough to the coast that the marine layer parks over the neighborhood for much of the year. That persistent dampness is hard on masonry. Clay flue tiles absorb moisture, and when they stay wet through fog season after fog season, the surface begins to spall, flake, and eventually crack. Mortar crowns fare no better. On a 1940s bungalow off Lennox Boulevard, a crown that was poured with too much water in the mix will have been eroding for decades, and by the time we see it, water has usually worked its way into the chimney’s interior.
The housing stock is dense and old. Single-story stucco bungalows and small duplexes on tight lots dominate, and a large share of these are now rentals. Deferred maintenance is common. A tenant may not notice a deteriorating chimney until a home inspector, insurance carrier, or fire marshal flags it, and by then the repair scope has grown. The 1933 Long Beach earthquake left its mark here too. We regularly pull cracked flue tiles out of Lennox chimneys, and in some of the older homes, the flues still carry a hard, glazed layer of soot from oil-burner days, before the property was converted and the fireplace became an occasional feature rather than a primary heat source.
Because Lennox is unincorporated, county rules govern the work. LA County Fire and Public Works clearance requirements apply, and that changes the permit conversation. A contractor who mostly works in Inglewood or Hawthorne may not deal with county-level sign-offs on a regular basis. We do.

Our Main Lennox Services
Most Lennox homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a chimney that hasn’t been cleaned in years, or a dryer vent that’s packed with lint and venting poorly. Both are covered below, each with its own dedicated Lennox page.
Chimney Sweep in Lennox
A chimney sweep in Lennox isn’t a quick brush-through. The flues here carry decades of history, and the marine layer means creosote doesn’t just burn off between uses. It sits. It glazes. And in a rental property that’s changed tenants a few times, it may not have been touched in twenty years. Our sweep includes a full inspection of the flue, smoke chamber, damper, and crown, and we document everything with photos. If we find cracks, spalling, or a failing liner, we can move straight into repair without sending you to another contractor. Chimney Sweep in Lennox
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lennox
Tight lots and small laundry closets mean Lennox dryer vents are often long, with multiple elbows, and they clog faster than homeowners expect. Lint doesn’t just block airflow; it’s combustible, and a restricted dryer vent is one of the leading causes of residential house fires. Dryer vents and chimneys share the same core risk: restricted, dirty ventilation. We treat both with the same seriousness, and we clean dryer vents with the same documentation and inspection standard we apply to chimneys. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lennox

Chimney Repair in Lennox
In Lennox, chimney repair most often means dealing with clay flue tiles cracked by time and the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, plus crowns eroded by the coastal marine layer. The damp, foggy climate keeps moisture in the masonry year-round, and that water does damage through every winter-summer cycle. When a Lennox homeowner calls us for repair, we scope the flue with a camera before recommending anything, because the fix should match the actual condition, not a generic worst-case assumption. We don’t recommend liners or crowns or anything else without photo evidence you can look at yourself. Chimney Repair
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You’re missing a cap entirely, or the existing cap is rusted through, and rain, birds, and debris are getting straight into the flue.
What it costs in Lennox
Chimney cap installation in Lennox typically runs $250 to $600 depending on the flue size and the cap material.
How we do it
We measure the flue, select a stainless or copper cap sized for proper draft and spark protection, and secure it to the crown with masonry anchors.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Your clay tile flue is cracked, spalled, or missing sections, and the chimney is no longer safely containing combustion gases.
What it costs in Lennox
A new chimney liner in Lennox typically costs $2,500 to $5,500 depending on the flue length, access, and whether we’re replacing clay tile or installing a stainless liner.
How we do it
We camera-scope the flue to confirm the damage, size the liner to the appliance and flue dimensions, and install it through the top or the cleanout depending on access.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You’re seeing water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, or the flashing is pulling away from the roofline and leaking during rain.
What it costs in Lennox
Chimney flashing repair in Lennox typically runs $350 to $900 depending on how much of the flashing needs to be cut out and replaced.
How we do it
We remove the old flashing, inspect the underlying masonry, install new step and counter flashing, and seal the joints with professional-grade material.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Lennox
| Item | Typical range in Lennox |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $250 – $600 |
| Chimney liner installation | $2,500 – $5,500 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $350 – $900 |
Do I really need a new liner, or can the old one be repaired?
Sometimes a liner can be restored with HeatShield ceramic resurfacing instead of a full replacement. We camera-scope first, show you the footage, and only recommend a new liner when the existing one is too far gone to safely restore.
How long does chimney repair take in Lennox?
Most repairs, including cap installation and flashing work, are done in a single visit. A full liner installation usually takes one full day, sometimes a second morning for finish work if access is tight. Call (866) 520-4943 for a specific timeline.
