Why fireplace inspection looks different in Pacific Palisades
Canyon winds here are strong enough to test a poorly seated cap, and wildfire exposure means that same seat has to hold under ember pressure too. We fit caps and spark arrestors to the actual flue tile rather than a generic size. A typical visit ends up covering full firebox and refractory panel inspection, damper operation and sealing test, and smoke shelf and smoke chamber evaluation, since the scope follows what the chimney actually needs rather than a flat rate quoted sight unseen.
