Why chimney sweep matters in Rancho Palos Verdes
Ocean salt corrodes standard cap hardware quickly, and once a cap fails it stops doing its real job during fire season, keeping wind-blown embers out of the flue. Copper and stainless steel resist that corrosion and hold their spark-stopping mesh intact through Santa Ana conditions. That's the reality we walk into on most visits here, and it's why the work usually covers complete creosote and soot removal, smoke chamber deep cleaning, and hepa-filtered vacuum - no mess guaranteed instead of whatever a generic estimate assumes.
