Learn MoreWhat we tell Canoga Park owners
Owensmouth came first, in 1912, and this Los Angeles neighborhood keeps some early bungalows between its later ranch houses. Those two types fail differently, and we tell you which one you have and what to watch. Northridge was centered just a few miles east in 1994 and did heavy damage to this part of the Valley. A crack from then can still sit inside a flue, unseen, so we look before anyone lights a fire.
What We Look at First
Inside the flue with a camera for old quake cracks, then the crown and cap outside.
What Cannot Wait
A flue split from past shaking, a stack pulling away from the wall, or a cap loosened by hot Santa Ana gusts.
What Can Wait
Sun-cracked stucco around the chase, a tired brass fireplace door, faint scorch marks on the firebox.
