Learn MoreWhat we tell Bell Gardens owners
An added unit behind a bungalow can change how a lot is laid out, but it does not change the old chimney's job. Only about one in five households own, so we keep the findings simple enough to share with whoever is in charge. Long Beach in 1933 showed what shaking does to unreinforced masonry down here. Rain from November through April then finds the weak spots, and it is usually the crown or the mortar that lets it in.
What We Look at First
The chimney's mortar and crown, and whether later additions now crowd the stack or its top.
What Cannot Wait
A leaning stack beside an added unit, rain getting in through a split crown, a flue tile that has dropped.
What Can Wait
A brick face that looks old but is solid, worn gas logs that still burn evenly.
