Pacific Palisades chimneys and what drives service calls
The Palisades Fire in January 2025 burned through much of Pacific Palisades, and a large part of the neighborhood is being rebuilt. A new house often has a factory-built fireplace or a gas unit with a metal flue, while a house that survived may have a chimney that sat through the heat and smoke. We inspect both kinds, and on a rebuild we check the cap, chase cover and termination before the roofing closes in around them. That reality shapes every fireplace inspection visit we run here - what gets loaded on the truck, how much time gets blocked off, and what the follow-up recommendation looks like.
