What puts a Calabasas household at risk
The 2018 Woolsey fire came into Calabasas, and canyon winds can carry embers a long way. Spark arrestor caps on every flue and screened outdoor fire features are the first things we look at. Summer heat on the hillsides wears mortar and crowns, so we check the tops of the stacks closely. On a chimney flashing repair visit we look at leak source traced before any repair, step and counter flashing reset or replaced, and cricket added on wide chimneys, then tell you which findings matter for small children, pets or older relatives and which can wait.
