Why chimney sweep looks different in Brentwood
A properly seated spark arrestor checked every year covers the defensible-space basics on Brentwood's canyon-adjacent lots, guarding against ember travel. We treat the mesh gauge and mounting fit as their own checklist item, not an afterthought once the sweep is done. A typical visit ends up covering complete creosote and soot removal, smoke chamber deep cleaning, and hepa-filtered vacuum - no mess guaranteed, since the scope follows what the chimney actually needs rather than a flat rate quoted sight unseen.
