Why fireplace inspection looks different in Santa Paula
The Thomas Fire in December 2017 started near Santa Paula and burned through the hills around it. A working spark arrestor is the first thing we check here, and we show you its condition on the photo. A visit here typically covers full firebox and refractory panel inspection, damper operation and sealing test, and smoke shelf and smoke chamber evaluation, because the scope should follow the chimney's actual condition, not a flat-rate guess.
