Chimney Inspection in San Marino, CA

Here's what a chimney inspection visit actually covers in San Marino

A lot of San Marino's elaborate masonry fireplaces date to between 1920 and 1960, and the cap and spark arrestor mesh on these older systems often haven't been updated to match current standards. We check that ember protection carefully on every visit, since a historic surround can look flawless while the screen underneath has worn thin.

Warm inland summers here don't bring the wildfire exposure a foothill neighborhood would see, but San Marino's high property values mean we still hold every cap and spark arrestor to full code, since a preventable ember incident on a historic estate carries real cost.
