Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Rancho Palos Verdes
Rancho Palos Verdes has many hillside ranch homes and estates that still carry their original masonry chimneys, alongside custom houses built later with very different systems. Parts of the city sit in landslide zones, so on older brick we look at how the stack has moved against the house as well as at the mortar. Salt air off the Pacific works on any metal part of the chimney, and the bluff wind tests how well a cap is fastened. Older galvanized caps are usually the first thing we find rusted through.
Ages on These Streets
Original masonry chimneys on hillside ranch homes and mid-century estates, and later custom houses with factory-built or gas units.
What Wears Out First
Galvanized caps rusted through by salt air, crowns and mortar on older brick, and movement where a stack meets the house on shifting ground.
How We Sort It
Anything to do with movement is noted with where it is and how it looks, so you can watch it over time.
