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 Chino, CA
Chimney repair in Chino means working on two very different kinds of homes: 1950s – 1970s ranches in ZIP 91710 with original brick fireplaces and clay-tile flues, and 2000s-era tract homes in ZIP 91708 with factory-built metal fireplaces. The older homes are the ones where we find the serious problems: cracked clay liners, failed mortar crowns, and chimneys that have been swept for decades but never actually inspected. Mantel Chimney Sweep has served Chino since 2018, and our job is to diagnose and fix what sweeping alone can’t. Call (844) 821-5749 for a free estimate.
Why Chino Homes Are Different
Chino sits in the Pomona Valley within the South Coast Air Basin. Winter evenings bring strong temperature inversions that trap fine-particle pollution, which is why South Coast AQMD Rule 445 bans wood burning on no-burn days. The practical effect for Chino homeowners: many households burn less wood than they once did, rely more on gas fireplaces, and go years between cleanings. That means creosote can sit and harden unnoticed, and liner damage can progress quietly.
In the older 91710 neighborhoods off Riverside Drive and Central Avenue, we routinely find “swept but never inspected” brick chimneys from the postwar build-out. Original mortar crowns are cracked from decades of summer heat and winter rain. Clay flue tiles show hairline fractures that no amount of sweeping will fix. These homes need repair-grade attention, not another sweep. In the newer Preserve and College Park communities of 91708, factory-built fireplaces have their own failure modes: warped refractory panels, rusted caps, and direct-vent blockages that require manufacturer-specific parts and handling.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Chino Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from Chino homeowners: routine chimney sweeping and dryer vent cleaning. Both are about fire prevention, and both are services where doing the job poorly creates a false sense of security.
Chimney Sweep in Chino
A chimney sweep in Chino is the baseline service, and for many 91710 homes it’s the first time anyone has looked at the flue since the last sweep years ago. We brush the full length of the flue, remove creosote and soot, vacuum the firebox and smoke shelf, and then inspect what the cleaning revealed. In Chino’s older masonry chimneys, the sweep is often where we spot the first signs of cracked tiles or a deteriorated crown. If you’re due for a cleaning, start with our Chimney Sweep in Chino page for the full breakdown of what to expect and what it costs.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Chino
Dryer vent cleaning in Chino addresses a fire hazard most people never think about until the dryer starts taking twice as long to dry a load. Lint builds up inside the vent run, restricts airflow, and becomes kindling sitting against a heat source. In Chino’s older homes, dryer vents are often long runs through attics or crawlspaces, which makes the buildup worse. In newer 91708 homes, the vents are shorter but often poorly supported. Read the full scope on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Chino page, including what we check and why lint on top of the dryer is a warning sign.

Chimney Repair in Chino
Chimney repair in Chino is where our company earns its name. In the older 91710 neighborhoods, the pattern is consistent: original clay-tile flues from the 1950s and 1960s have developed hairline cracks from decades of thermal cycling, original mortar crowns are spalling, and flashing has pulled away from the roofline after sixty-plus years of sun and rain. In 91708, the problems are different but just as real: warped refractory panels in factory-built units, rusted chimney caps, and failed chase covers. Sweeping can’t fix any of these. Our Chimney Repair service is the full diagnostic and restoration arm of the company.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Chino homeowners should suspect a liner problem when they see flaking tile shards in the firebox, smell smoke in rooms not near the fireplace, or notice white staining on the exterior brick.
What it costs in Chino
Chimney liner installation in Chino typically runs $2,500 – $6,500 depending on the flue length, home height, and whether we install a single-flue stainless steel liner or a one-piece cast liner.
How we do it
We measure the full flue run, remove the old clay tile sections if needed, and install a properly sized DuraFlex stainless steel liner, insulated where code requires it, then verify draft with a live burn test.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
A cracked or spalled chimney crown shows up as a crumbling concrete surface at the top of the chimney, often with visible rust stains from the damper assembly or water staining on the ceiling near the fireplace.
What it costs in Chino
Chimney crown repair in Chino generally falls between $800 and $2,200, depending on whether we can seal and resurface the existing crown or need to pour a new one.
How we do it
We clean and prep the old crown surface, apply a professional-grade crown coat system to seal hairline cracks, or form and pour a new concrete crown with proper overhang and drip edge, then seal it against Chino’s winter rains.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Chino
| Item | Typical range in Chino |
|---|---|
| Chimney crown repair | $800 – $2,200 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $400 – $1,200 |
| Chimney liner installation | $2,500 – $6,500 |
How much does a chimney liner replacement cost in Chino?
A full chimney liner replacement in Chino typically costs $2,500 to $6,500. The range depends on flue height, access, and whether the old clay tiles need to be removed first. Call (844) 821-5749 for an exact quote.
Do I really need a new liner if I’ve been sweeping my chimney?
Sweeping removes creosote but cannot repair cracked clay tiles or a deteriorating flue wall. In Chino’s older 91710 homes, we frequently find hairline tile cracks after a cleaning. A camera inspection will show you exactly what we’re seeing before you commit to a liner.

What Chino Customers Say
"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
— Gilbert Garcia"They were the only ones willing to just tell me the price. Everyone else wanted to "come take a look" first, which in my experience means come apply pressure in person."
— Matt Delaney"Level two inspection before we bought the house. The report was detailed enough to use as a negotiating point and he explained every photo in it."
— Diego Delgado
