Learn MoreWhat we tell Los Angeles County owners
This page is for the many unincorporated places, like Altadena, Topanga, Hacienda Heights, Castaic and Acton. Most county land sits outside any city. Wherever you are, the questions do not change: is it safe, and how soon does it matter? Salt on the coast, snow in the mountains, heat in the valleys, and fires like Station, Creek, La Tuna and Woolsey. Northridge also toppled many masonry chimneys in 1994. We tell you which of these touch yours.
What We Look at First
Whatever your part of the county does to a chimney: salt, snow, heat or fire.
What Cannot Wait
A toppling-risk masonry stack, ember gaps near brush, a salt-rusted cap on a coastal roof.
What Can Wait
Weather stains, an old screen, or light wear on a firebox that is still sound.
