Getting fireplace inspection right in Alhambra
Hot, dry inland summers put real stress on Alhambra's older mortar joints, cracking crowns faster than a home closer to the coast would see. That same heat drives heavy furnace use once fall arrives, so we treat both jobs as part of the same seasonal visit. That's why a typical visit here covers full firebox and refractory panel inspection, damper operation and sealing test, and smoke shelf and smoke chamber evaluation instead of a generic checklist.
