What Torrance experience brings to chimney inspection
Torrance wraps around Lomita on two sides, so it gets more of our ladder time than anywhere but home. Tract houses from the 1950s and 1960s often have a brick chimney with white chalky streaks on the face. That is water moving through the brick, and we trace it on the roof to a split crown or an open joint before we mix any mortar. We've worked on the full range of chimney types found in this area, from single-flue brick stacks to multi-system fireplaces, and we set up each visit around what's actually on the property.
