Learn MoreWhat we tell Gardena owners
Berry farms came first here, tract homes after the war, so a chimney on these streets is likely in its seventies by now. Age alone is no verdict. A look tells you whether yours has held up or started to slip. Quakes on the Newport-Inglewood Fault, like the one in 1933, are hard on unreinforced brick. Otherwise the weather is gentle: mild summers, rare freezes and gray mornings that leave a crown damp through May and June.
What We Look at First
Upper masonry for any slipping, then damp marks on the crown, then the damper.
What Cannot Wait
Masonry slipping near the top, a crack through the flue wall, gas logs with nowhere to vent.
What Can Wait
Green damp marks on a crown, tired grout on the hearth, a screen curtain that snags.
