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 Yorba Linda, CA
Chimney repair in Yorba Linda is about more than fixing what’s broken. It’s about matching the right materials and method to tall, wind-exposed masonry chimneys on hillside and canyon-edge homes that were built mostly from the 1970s through the 1990s. We’re Mantel Chimney Sweep, and we repair what other companies can only report. Most calls we get from Yorba Linda homeowners start with a cracked crown, a leaking flashing, or a chimney cap that Santa Ana winds pulled loose. We diagnose the problem, show you the evidence, and fix it with materials from names like DuraFlex, HeatShield, Olympia Chimney, and Copperfield. For a free estimate, call (844) 821-5749.
Why Yorba Linda Homes Are Different
Yorba Linda isn’t a flat tract-home suburb. Large custom and semi-custom single-family homes sit on acreage, along ridge lines, and at the edge of Chino Hills State Park. Many of these properties were built from the 1970s through the 1990s, and quite a few have multiple fireplaces, freestanding wood stoves, and tall exterior masonry chimneys. The original Yorba Linda core east of the 57 has older ranch homes, and those flues are often unlined clay tile or have had decades of deferred maintenance.
The terrain changes how we work. Homes in the 92886 and 92887 ZIP codes often have chimneys that rise well above the roof line, with long flue runs and multiple offsets. When Santa Ana winds push through the canyons in the fall, those exposed chimneys take the brunt. Caps get bent or blown off, crowns crack, and wind-driven debris ends up in flues. During the long warm season, birds nest in uncapped chimneys. We see it every fall: homeowners light the first fire of the season and smoke rolls back into the living room because a flue is blocked by nesting material or damaged by wind. A clean sweep is the baseline – repair expertise is the difference. Original hardwood and shake roofs in some hillside areas also mean we work carefully around roofing materials that need specific flashing approaches.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Yorba Linda Services
Most Yorba Linda homeowners call us for two reasons: a chimney that needs a proper sweep, and a dryer vent that hasn’t been cleared in years. Both are fire hazards, and both are services we do in-house with the same level of care.
Chimney Sweep in Yorba Linda
A thorough sweep in Yorba Linda means dealing with creosote from heavy winter wood burning, plus the windblown debris and bird nesting that accumulates over the long hot season. Homes in 92886 and 92887 with tall, exposed chimneys often need a pre-season inspection before the first fall fire because caps have shifted or flues have collected material that settled during the dry months. We don’t just run a brush up the flue. We check the cap, the crown, the flashing, and the firebox, and we document what we find with a camera. If we see a crack or a failing liner, we can repair it rather than hand you a report and leave. See our Chimney Sweep in Yorba Linda page for the full scope of that service.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Yorba Linda
Dryer vents in Yorba Linda are a real hazard because lint builds up faster than homeowners expect, particularly in laundry rooms that vent through long horizontal runs to the outside of larger custom homes. A clogged dryer vent is one of the top causes of residential fires, and it also forces your dryer to work harder and dry slower. We clean the full vent run – not just the lint trap area – and clear the accumulated lint from the dryer to the exterior termination. It’s part of why we say we work from flue to dryer vent. See our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Yorba Linda page for details on that service.

Chimney Repair in Yorba Linda
Most chimney repairs in Yorba Linda trace back to two things: the age of the home and the wind. Homes built between the 1970s and 1990s now have chimneys that are 30 to 50 years old, and masonry that’s been through decades of Santa Ana wind events, heat, and occasional rain. The problems we see most often are cracked crowns that let water into the chimney structure, flashing that has pulled away from the roofline, and caps that are either missing or loose. “Water is the enemy of masonry” matters here because a chimney that lets water in will deteriorate from the inside out, and by the time you see spalling brick or a chimney that leans slightly, the repair is far more involved than if we’d caught it early. We provide full Chimney Repair, which means we don’t just identify the problem – we fix it.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You find bird or rodent nesting material in the firebox, or rainwater drips into the fireplace during storms.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
A new chimney cap installed in Yorba Linda typically runs $150 to $350 depending on the flue size and cap material.
How we do it
We measure the flue, select a cap sized for proper draft, secure it to the flue or crown, and verify that the cap actually keeps rain and wildlife out without restricting airflow.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
The existing cap is rusted through, bent by wind, or was never the right size for the flue in the first place.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Replacing a damaged cap in Yorba Linda typically runs $110 to $220 for the cap itself, with standard installation labor adding $150 to $350.
How we do it
We remove the old cap, inspect the flue top for damage or blockages, and install a properly sized replacement that fits snugly and stands up to Yorba Linda’s wind conditions.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Your clay tile liner is cracked or missing sections, or you smell smoke in rooms adjacent to the chimney even when the damper is open.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
A flexible stainless steel chimney liner installation in Yorba Linda typically runs $65 to $100 per linear foot, with most full installs landing between $2,500 and $7,500.
How we do it
We size the DuraFlex flexible liner to your flue, run it from the appliance to the chimney top, insulate where needed, and secure the cap and termination so draft and clearance are correct.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains appear on ceilings near the fireplace, or the flashing has pulled away from the roofline and you can see gaps.
What it costs in Yorba Linda
Flashing repair in Yorba Linda typically runs $300 to $900, depending on how much of the existing flashing is salvageable and whether the roof pitch requires extra care.
How we do it
We remove the old flashing, cut and fit new galvanized or stainless flashing to the roofline and chimney, seal the joints properly, and check for any water path into the chimney chase.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Yorba Linda
| Item | Typical range in Yorba Linda |

| Chimney cap installation | $150 – $350 |
| Chimney cap replacement | $110 – $220 (cap) + $150 – $350 (labor) |

Do I really need a new liner, or can the old one be repaired?
Often the existing clay tile liner in an older Yorba Linda home can be restored with HeatShield cerfractory sealant if the damage is limited to minor cracks or spalling. Full liner replacement with a DuraFlex stainless steel system is the right call when tiles are missing, severely cracked, or the flue is no longer structurally sound. We only recommend replacement if the camera inspection shows it is genuinely necessary. Call (844) 821-5749 for an exact quote.
What actually happens if I skip a chimney repair?
A cracked crown or failed flashing lets water into the chimney chase, and in Yorba Linda’s clay-heavy hillside soils, water damage can compromise the structure faster than you’d expect. Water causes the mortar joints to weaken, flue tiles to crack, and eventually the chimney itself to spall or lean. Small repairs are far cheaper than a partial rebuild. Call us before the next rain arrives.
Brands We Service in Yorba Linda
We install and service components from DuraFlex, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield, which means replacement parts and liner systems come from professional supply houses, not improvised hardware store substitutes.

Prices in Yorba Linda tend to run higher on hillside homes where rooflines are steep, chimneys are tall, and access requires extra ladder work and safety rigging. The dry Santa Ana season also means crews sometimes work in high-wind conditions that require pausing work for safety, which can extend the job. We always give you an upfront price before any work begins, so you know what the repair costs before we start. No surprises.

What Yorba Linda Customers Say
"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
— Eric Mercer"Fireplace had never drawn properly since we moved in. He found the damper was only opening halfway due to a bent linkage and fixed it in ten minutes."
— Rachel Lawson"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
— Gilbert Garcia
