Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Palos Verdes Estates
Mid-century custom ranches on bigger lots make up much of the housing, and about 82 percent of homes predate 1980. Nine in ten are detached. Near the sea, a fine masonry chimney can be aging faster at the top than anyone can tell from the patio below. Sea breezes and steady fog rust caps and fasteners while keeping brick damp for months at a time. The local fault runs offshore and under this peninsula, so a shaken flue is a local question, not a distant one.
What Could Feed a Fire
A salt-rusted cap letting wind-blown debris into the flue, on top of creosote from years of cool foggy evenings.
How Fumes Could Get In
Damp, salt-loosened joints along the upper flue, with old tile possibly shifted by the Palos Verdes Fault.
What We Check First
Cap and fasteners for rust from fog and salt, then the upper tile by camera for fault movement.
