What chimney level 2 inspection looks like when we know Pacific Palisades

That extra step during a pre-sale inspection is often what keeps a deal from stalling over an unexplained crack. We have worked on everything from single-flue brick stacks to multi-system fireplaces in this area, and we plan each visit around what is actually on the property.
