Chimney Service and Leak Repair in Agoura Hills, CA
Many Agoura Hills chimneys rise from a roof valley or the low side of a slope, which is the worst place for water to meet brick. Leaves from the oaks collect behind the stack, hold moisture against the flashing and send it down the back face. When we trace a ceiling stain here, the cricket behind the chimney, or the lack of one, is often where the story starts. Agoura Hills sits in a pocket that runs warmer than the coast in summer and cooler on winter nights, and a few storms bring most of the year's rain in a short spell. Wind coming down the canyons pushes rain into seams that a calm storm would miss. The 2018 Woolsey Fire burned homes in parts of the city, so a stainless cap with an ember screen is worth a close look here.
