Why gas fireplace cleaning gets documented this closely in Santa Monica
Because salt air and moisture shorten hardware life here, we set inspection intervals tighter than inland schedules and note the reason on the record. Corrosion-resistant replacements get flagged the same way, so the choice is documented, not just made. 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.
