Earthquakes in LA 

So far this month, there have been over 30 earthquakes in la. No matter how big or small, people felt it. They felt the ground moving, the walls shaking, and they became a little dizzy.

While we should worry about ourselves in these situations, it is very important to make sure that our house can stand strong and not move when an earthquake occurs to keep us protected. 

We sometimes can feel our walls shaking and the roof moving, which can be dangerous because on the roof we have our chimney. The chimney is tall and heavy, and if it is not secured enough or built safely, it may crash on our roof and hurt us and our house. 

Also, your walls are moving in earthquakes. They can crack or completely break. That’s why you also may want to make sure that the fireplace inside your house is also strong enough. If the walls around your fireplace crack, dangerous gasses or smoke leftovers that are inside your fireplace may get inside your house and ruin the air that you and your family breathe. 

That’s why it is very important to order the services of a company that will determine if your chimney is stable enough to survive strong winds and earthquakes and if your fireplace won’t break down the moment that the walls are moving. 

In Pacific Fireside, our biggest goal is to make sure that your house is the safest place for you to live in and to avoid any danger that may appear whether it harms your house or yourself, we want to be able to keep you and your family safe.
