Learn MoreWhat we tell Carson owners
Owners live in roughly three of every four homes, a high share around here, so a chimney question is usually your own to settle. Tracts spread over rancho land after World War II, and those fireplaces are now old enough to check. The Newport-Inglewood Fault runs through the Dominguez Hills, right here. Gray marine mornings keep a crown damp, too, and a winter of rain can work into any small crack the last shaking opened.
What We Look at First
Any shift in the stack from the nearby fault, then the crown and the top joints.
What Cannot Wait
A stack with a fresh gap at the roofline, a flue split down its length, water tracking into the ceiling.
What Can Wait
Worn hearth brick, a little efflorescence on the outside face, an old cap that still sits firm.
