Why Pacific Palisades homeowners need chimney level 2 inspection done right
Heat from a nearby fire can crack flue tiles and warp a damper or a cap without flames touching the roof. Canyon wind on the bluffs then works at any gap the heat opened, so a fitted cap and an arrestor screen go on every Palisades record. A typical visit here covers 360° video camera scan of entire flue interior, full inspection of accessible portions per nfpa 211, and booked around escrow dates for a sale, so the scope is built around the chimney's real condition instead of a one-size estimate.
