How the climate here affects chimney masonry repair
Port air and coastal humidity push chimney caps toward failure faster than inland neighborhoods see, so we treat cap condition as a yearly code-compliance check rather than an afterthought. Salt-resistant hardware holds up longer here and cuts down how often that corrosion turns into a real repair. We build that into our timeline recommendations, the materials we choose, and what gets flagged in the written report once the visit wraps up.
