Why fireplace cleaning 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 firebox ash and soot removal, glass door cleaning and gasket check, and hearth stone and surround cleaning because the job should follow what the chimney actually needs, not a flat-rate guess.
