Learn MoreWhat we tell Huntington Park owners
Close to half the houses here predate 1950, and a house that old with a fireplace almost surely has a masonry chimney. Cottages and bungalows look charming from the street. The questions that matter are at the roofline and inside the flue. Whittier Narrows shook this part of the county in 1987, and wet spells from November through March then work on old joints. Gas units avoid the winter no-burn alerts that limit wood fires here, which helps some households choose.
What We Look at First
Roofline mortar first, then the flue, then the crown after any winter wet spell.
What Cannot Wait
Cracked joints at the roofline of an old stack, a flue that is open to the attic, soft crown cement.
What Can Wait
Worn paint on a Spanish Revival surround, a stiff damper, surface salts on the lower brick.
