Brooks Chimney Sweeps offers a full portfolio of chimney and venting system services. Whether it’s gas or wood-stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, or dryer vents, we understand the intricacies of the venting systems in your home. Our services include:

CHIMNEY INSPECTIONS AND SWEEPING:
Our FIRE Certified Inspector and CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep uses state-of-the-art equipment to inspect and sweep chimneys of all kinds, including gas, wood-burning. While sweeping your system, we ensure that we keep your home free from mess and chimney deposits. We look for any conditions that could prevent peak performance and recommend what is needed for your system to operate as intended. We always recommend the use video inspection equipment to examine hidden parts of the system. In the past, such examination consisted of a flashlight and mirror inspection. Now with closed circuit cameras we can more accurately inspect the interior of your venting system. CERAMIC & CONCRETE FLUE LINER RESURFACING:
We are licensed dealers for “Heat Shield” cerfractory sealant. “Heat Shield” is the only UL listed #2425, and tested repair on the market today. We recommend this product application to fill void spaces between flue liner sections and even cover formally fatal cracks within the liner itself. This repair restores the systems ability to contain the dangers parts of combustion like heat, smoke and carbon monoxide. WATERPROOFING/REPAIR & RESTORATION:
We offer a full range of repairs to chimney systems with evident water entry, big and small—from repairing leaky crowns to waterproofing exteriors and chimney caps. Water damage resulting from a missing chimney caps and damaged crowns is common. We remedy this situation by addressing these points of water entry. CROWN REPAIRS:
Improperly built crowns are a common problem. If yours is cracked or poorly constructed—allowing water penetration —we’ll repair your crown and guaranteed that repair for up to 15 years. CHIMNEY CAP/SPARK ARRESTOR INSTALLATION:
The best way to prevent moisture from rain and snow, animals, leaves, and other debris from entering your chimney is to install a chimney cap. Our high-quality caps carry a variety of warranties from six years to lifetime depending on the level of your investment. REPLACE CHASE TOPS:
Leaky or damaged chase tops are potential hazards on prefabricated metal fireplaces. Water entry left undetected and unresolved can aid in the premature rusting out of the listed fireplace systems. We can eliminate water entry issues at these locations by replacing rusty metal chase tops. DRYER VENT SERVICE:
Reasons For Servicing Your Dryer Venting System:


Reduces energy consumption. When there is no blockage, less stress is put on the appliance. Better Operation. All connections from the dryer to the exterior should be inspected to ensure they’re working properly. After removing the dryer vent from the wall, we use our professional Dryer Cleaning tool with a rotating brush to clear the inside of the tube of all debris. As we do this, we vacuum and blow the lint from the tube, restoring the flow of air through the system. Your dryer will work like it's brand new. Reduces the risk of fire. When the vent is blocked the dryer heats up and the risk for fire is increased. The lint buildup on the inner wall of the vent is flammable and if left behind, raises the risk of fire.

Ventura County felt the shaking tonight — and your chimney felt it too.

A magnitude 3.8 earthquake struck approximately 2.5 miles southeast of Piru, shaking homes throughout parts of Ventura County and surrounding areas. Seismic movement can affect masonry chimneys, fireplace systems, flue liners, mortar joints, factory-built components, and other areas that may not be visible from the fireplace opening alone.

Following an earthquake or other seismic event, NFPA 211 calls for a Level II inspection. This more comprehensive inspection includes accessible portions of the chimney and hearth system, along with internal video scanning where applicable.

Brooks Chimney Sweeping / Hearth Fire Investigations has served Ventura County since 1989. Our chimney and fireplace professionals hold certifications through the Chimney Safety Institute of America, FIRE, and the National Fireplace Institute bringing specialized training and experience to detailed fireplace and chimney evaluations.

If your home is in Piru, Fillmore, Santa Paula, or another affected Ventura County community, consider scheduling a Level II inspection before your next fire.

Joey Brooks is meticulously applying SaverSystems’ CrownCoat™️ to restore and protect this chimney crown. The original mortar crown, more than 50 years old, had severely deteriorated, allowing water to pe*****te the brickwork and enter the area around the flue liner.

Over time, water intrusion can deteriorate the mortar joints between sections of the flue liner, potentially creating pathways for heat and smoke to reach nearby combustible framing and increase the risk of ignition.

With talk of a possible “Super El Niño” and a wetter-than-normal season ahead, now is a good time to address deteriorated chimney crowns and help keep rainwater out of the chimney system before the heavier weather arrives.
