What chimney level 2 inspection actually protects against in Santa Monica
Stretching out inspection intervals to save a visit tends to cost more later, because salt air hides corrosion until a cap or flashing fails outright. A tighter schedule catches that wear while it is still a cleaning or a minor swap, not a replacement. A typical visit here covers 360° video camera scan of entire flue interior, full inspection of accessible portions per nfpa 211, and required for real estate transactions - meets lender standards, and the scope follows what the chimney needs that day rather than a price quoted sight unseen.
