Why chimney level 2 inspection in Encino needs a local approach
Santa Ana gusts can push embers and leaves straight at an uncapped flue in the fall. Before that, we check the cap and the mesh. In winter, a family using two fireplaces should have a carbon monoxide alarm on each floor that has one. A typical visit ends up covering 360° video camera scan of entire flue interior, full inspection of accessible portions per nfpa 211, and required for real estate transactions - meets lender standards because the job should follow what the chimney actually needs, not a flat-rate guess.
