Learn MoreWhat we tell Rancho Palos Verdes parents
Evacuations and utility cuts have followed land movement in Portuguese Bend, a hazard few places share. Ground that shifts can crack a chimney without any earthquake, so a Rancho Palos Verdes family near it should take any new gap in the masonry seriously. Salt-loaded sea breezes corrode caps and fasteners, and fog cools the coast most mornings. Then there is the Palos Verdes Fault, offshore and under the peninsula, plus the 2009 Portuguese Bend brush fire that burned about 230 acres.
Check at Home
Near Portuguese Bend, mark any crack around the chimney with a pencil date, so a parent can see if it grows over a season.
Kids and Pets
Shifting ground can loosen a chimney from the wall, so keep play sets and dog runs from being built right beside it.
What We Look At First
Any shift between chimney and house, then salt wear on the cap and fasteners.
Next Door
We also take calls from Lomita, Torrance, Miraleste.
