What makes fireplace inspection different in Brentwood
Canyon-adjacent addresses carry a defensible space expectation that shows up in disclosure paperwork, and an annual spark arrestor check is the easiest way to satisfy it before a buyer asks. Skipping that step tends to surface as a question during the inspection period instead. A typical visit here covers full firebox and refractory panel inspection, damper operation and sealing test, and smoke shelf and smoke chamber evaluation, because the scope should follow what the chimney needs, not a form filled out before anyone gets on the roof.
