Why Thousand Oaks homes need chimney inspection done right
A chimney without ember-resistant hardware can turn a survivable brush fire into a total loss, which is the math that makes annual inspection worth the modest cost here. Waiting until after a fire like Woolsey to find out the cap was inadequate is the expensive way to learn that lesson. A visit typically 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 reflects the chimney's actual condition instead of a flat-rate guess.
