Why chimney inspection matters for Encino homes
Santa Ana wind events push embers directly at any chimney with a poorly seated cap, which is why spark arrestor compliance gets verified on a yearly cycle rather than a longer one. Ordinary Valley heat adds its own slower threat to cap and crown seals in the months between wind events. A standard visit here includes 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 matches what the chimney actually needs instead of a flat estimate written before anyone climbs the roof.
