Why gas fireplace repair looks different in Malibu
Inspections in this fire zone start with the cap itself, since a corroded or poorly seated spark arrestor is the weak point once embers start moving. We check weld quality and mesh condition every year, not just whether the hardware is present. A typical visit ends up covering pilot light and ignition system repair, thermocouple and thermopile replacement, and gas valve diagnosis and replacement, since the scope follows what the chimney actually needs rather than a flat rate quoted sight unseen.
