Chimney Inspection in West Hollywood, CA

How we run a chimney inspection visit in West Hollywood

Age and seismic exposure have already done their work on many of West Hollywood's original masonry chimneys, so the real question is whether the resulting crown and mortar damage gets caught while it is still tuckpointing or waits until it needs a rebuild. Older buildings rarely give a warning between the two.

The mild climate here is not what puts these chimneys at risk, the years since construction and the shifting ground underneath are, and neither shows up without a professional look. Skipping that inspection on a property with an original fireplace only delays a bill that arrives larger later.
