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 gas logs appointment out here, from what the technician brings on the truck to how long we block off for the visit.
