Why gas logs matters for Altadena chimneys
Altadena backs onto the mountains and is mapped as very high fire hazard. When Santa Ana winds blow, embers can reach any open flue on the street. A spark arrestor cap and a sealed crown come first on any chimney we restore here. A typical visit here includes vented and ventless gas log options, btu sizing for room and firebox dimensions, and gas line connection with shut-off valve, because the scope should follow the chimney's condition, not a fixed estimate.
