What makes gas logs different in Santa Monica
Santa Monica took real damage in the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and an older brick chimney that rode it out can carry cracked flue tiles nobody has looked at since. Add sea air on the metal parts, and a Santa Monica report can have two sections: what the camera saw inside, and what the salt did outside. A typical visit here covers vented and ventless gas log options, btu sizing for room and firebox dimensions, and gas line connection with shut-off valve, because the scope should follow what the chimney needs, not a form filled out before anyone gets on the roof.
