La Jolla Homeowners: Trust Weststar for Chimney Sweep & Fireplace Repair Services

La Jolla is a stunning seaside community renowned for its beautiful coastline, lovely neighborhoods, and many amenities. Nestled between rugged cliffs and the Pacific Ocean, you’re sure to get a full taste of nature. In fact, La Jolla Cova is one of the most iconic spots in the area, and is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving.

Other outdoor areas to visit in La Jolla include Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, Children’s Pool Beach, and La Jolla Shores. Or, if you’d rather learn about marine life than explore it, check out Birch Aquarium at Scripps, which features exhibits on marine life, tide pools, and conservation efforts.

Wanting some ideas for indoor fun? La Jolla Village is home to quaint streets full of boutiques, art galleries, and a variety of cafes and restaurants.

Or try something new – like visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art or hitting a few golf balls at Torrey Pines.

La Jolla’s blend of natural beauty, cultural attractions, and outdoor activities make it one of our favorite spots to visit. If your fireplace and chimney need care in the area, trust us for the job! Call or book online now.

What Should I Do if I Experience a Chimney Fire?

Chimney fires are avoidable events. If you consistently book your chimney sweepings and inspections, as well as keep a close eye on how your system is functioning, preventing them shouldn’t be a problem. That said, sometimes events of this nature happen, and knowing what you should do if it happens in your household can make a big impact in the long haul.

If you notice a chimney fire is actively occurring, here are the next best steps to take:

1. Evacuate Immediately: Ensure everyone in the house is safely evacuated. A chimney fire usually stays contained in the flue, but it can spread, so getting to safety should always be the top priority.
2. Close the Fireplace Damper: If it’s safe to do so, close the damper or any air inlets to help reduce the oxygen feeding the fire. This might slow the fire’s intensity and prevent it from spreading.
3. Call Emergency Services: Get in touch with the fire department as soon as you can. Firefighters are trained to handle chimney fires and will arrive with the necessary equipment to extinguish it safely.
4. Book a Professional Chimney Inspection: After the fire is extinguished, schedule a professional chimney inspection with our crew. Chimney fires can cause severe structural damage, making future fireplace use dangerous if not properly repaired.

Now, here’s a strange and not-often-known fact about chimney fires: They usually occur without the homeowner ever knowing.

That’s right, you’d think any fire in your home would be obvious and noticeable, but many times chimney fires are slow-moving and quiet – they fill your flue with flames, then die out before anyone is the wiser. Because of this, knowing the signs that a chimney fire has occurred is important. Which leads to another important question…
