Why Studio City calls us for fireplace 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 full firebox and refractory panel inspection, damper operation and sealing test, and smoke shelf and smoke chamber evaluation, so the scope reflects the chimney in front of us and not a generic estimate.
