What drives most chimney calls in Redondo Beach
In Redondo Beach the first thing we usually see from the ladder is rust on the cap or the chase cover. Salt gets into the seams and the metal goes from the joints outward. We check the cap, damper and crown on the roof, then sweep from the firebox, so one pair of eyes covers the whole flue. That's the pattern we plan around for every chimney level 2 inspection visit here: what gets loaded on the truck, how much time we set aside, and what follow-up looks like.
