What drives chimney calls in Rancho Palos Verdes
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. That's the backdrop for every chimney level 2 inspection appointment out here, from what the technician brings on the truck to how long we block off for the visit.
