What chimney inspection means for Ventura homes
The 2017 Thomas Fire destroyed more than 500 structures in Ventura, and salt air works on caps and mortar near the beach. Hillside houses get the spark screen check first, coastal ones the corrosion check. A typical visit here covers level 1: visual inspection for annual maintenance, level 2: camera inspection for real estate or damage assessment, and level 3: invasive inspection for suspected hidden damage, scoped to the chimney's actual condition rather than a set estimate.
