Learn MoreWhat we tell Santa Ana owners
Floral Park, French Park and Wilshire Square hold older homes with brick chimneys, while plenty of apartments sit elsewhere. If you live in one of those historic areas, your chimney's age raises questions. We answer them without talking you into a rebuild. Long Beach in 1933 damaged brick buildings here, so older stacks have real history. Ten miles or so from the coast, weather is mild, but gusts in fall can strip a cap, and alerts limit wood fires.
What We Look at First
Old brick in the historic neighborhoods, then the crown, then a cap against strong gusts.
What Cannot Wait
Top courses moving on an old stack, a Santa Ana stripped cap, a flue with old gaps in it.
What Can Wait
Worn surround tile in a Craftsman, old soot, weathered brick that still feels firm.
