Chimney Fire and Quake Repair in Calabasas, CA
Calabasas is its own city, so permits for rebuilds and gas work go through its building department. The 2018 Woolsey fire burned around the area, and many homes here have had smoke and ash in their flues at least once. Large custom fireplaces and outdoor features each get their own check. Steep canyons and dry brush make ember protection a yearly task here. After any nearby fire, caps, crowns and flashing should be checked before winter rain, since heat damage at the top often lets water in next.
