Learn MoreWhat we tell Azusa owners
Old bungalows around Foothill Boulevard sit a few blocks from buildings a century newer, so the age of your street says little about your chimney. Tell us the year the home went up. We then explain what that means for yours. Hard Santa Anas off the mountain front work at caps and can carry embers, while storms dump heavier rain near the foothills. Whittier Narrows in 1987 also hurt old masonry across this valley, so aged joints get a close look.
What We Look at First
Cap fasteners and spark mesh facing the mountains, then the mortar on any early brick.
What Cannot Wait
A cap loose under strong winds, a torn ember screen, or brick you can rock by hand above the roof.
What Can Wait
Weather stains under the crown, light wear in an old firebox, faded paint on a metal top.
