Learn MoreWhat we tell Bellflower owners
Farmland turned to tract homes fast here, and a chimney from that rush may have had little attention since. If you bought a small ranch house and never asked, we can tell you whether it was left in good order. Marine influence keeps this corner of the basin moderate, so nothing dramatic happens to a crown. It wears slowly from low clouds, winter wet and the shaking of 2008 and 2014, and slow wear is easy to miss.
What We Look at First
The crown and upper joints where slow wear hides, then the firebox and damper inside.
What Cannot Wait
A crown cracked clear through, a flue that is blocked, mortar falling out in the firebox.
What Can Wait
Thin hairlines at the surface, a dull old cap with no rust holes, a chipped mantel edge.
