Why gas fireplace cleaning gets documented this closely in Pacific Palisades
Smoke and heat from a fire next door can crack flue tiles and warp a damper or cap without leaving marks you can see from the room. For a house that stood through the fire, we suggest a camera look up the flue and a check of the cap and spark arrestor before it goes back into use. Visits here usually cover pilot assembly and thermocouple cleaning, ceramic log inspection and repositioning, and burner port cleaning for even flame, and each item goes into the report so the scope matches the chimney's actual condition instead of a flat-rate guess.
