Strong Santa Anas along the mountain front can carry embers and rock a cap. The San Jose Fault and Sierra Madre Fault both lie close to town, while sun and big daily swings work on the mortar beneath it.
The Houses
On Claremont roofs we meet Period Revival and Craftsman houses near the Village, hillside Padua Hills homes, and later tracts. Each chimney gets its cap, crown and flue looked at on the first visit.
