Learn MoreWhat we tell Palmdale owners
Barely a fifth of houses here predate 1980, so metal flues are the usual story, though a 1950s ranch may still have masonry. Knowing which you own saves time. Then we can say which parts have actually aged. Spring winds are strong out here, summers push near 100 degrees and winter nights drop below freezing, so caps and crowns age quickly. The San Andreas crosses the south side of the city as well, along Lake Palmdale.
What We Look at First
Wind damage on the top of a metal flue, then freeze cracks if the crown is masonry.
What Cannot Wait
A cap the spring wind has bent open, a pulled-apart flue joint, a crown split by a freeze.
What Can Wait
Sun-faded chase paint, wind-scoured metal with no holes, a dated log set that lights.
