Why gas logs is worth doing right in Altadena
Sitting directly against the San Gabriel Mountains puts Altadena in a very high fire hazard severity zone, and a spark arrestor cap that costs little to maintain is cheap insurance against the kind of ember damage Santa Ana wind events can cause. Skipping the annual inspection here is a bet that rarely pays off. That is why most visits here end up covering vented and ventless gas log options, btu sizing for room and firebox dimensions, and gas line connection with shut-off valve, since the scope should follow the chimney's actual condition rather than a form estimate written before anyone climbs a ladder.
