Why fireplace cleaning matters in Studio City
The 1994 Northridge earthquake shook this part of the Valley hard, and an older stack that came through it can have loose joints near the top. A yearly look in the fall catches those joints while repointing still covers it. Most visits here end up covering firebox ash and soot removal, glass door cleaning and gasket check, and hearth stone and surround cleaning, and we scope the job to the chimney's actual condition rather than hand out a flat estimate over the phone.
