Why Studio City calls us for chimney inspection
Mortar loosened by another year of Valley heat cycling becomes the weak point a fire season inspection is built to catch, especially on chimneys older than the seismic codes now in place. Getting ahead of that wear before the dry months set in keeps a small crack from becoming a bigger problem. A typical visit here covers level 1: visual inspection for annual maintenance, level 2: camera inspection for real estate or damage assessment, and level 3: invasive inspection for suspected hidden damage, so the scope reflects the chimney in front of us and not a generic estimate.
