Rancho Palos Verdes experience with chimney cap installation
Wildfire season puts embers on this bluff top, and the salt-worn masonry chimneys common to Rancho Palos Verdes give sparks an easy way in through weakened caps and seismic-shifted mortar. A defensible chimney here means correcting both the coastal decay and the ground movement before wind-driven fire threatens the hillside. We've worked on most every kind of chimney found in this area, from single-flue brick stacks to homes running more than one fireplace system, and we plan the visit around what's actually on the roof.
