Learn MoreWhat we tell Santa Fe Springs owners
Oil built this city, and most houses arrived in the mid century after the boom. A typical ranch house may have one brick chimney with steel inside, now decades old. Steel can rust without showing, so an honest look goes beyond the surface. Moderate temperatures are easy on a chimney, and the occasional Santa Ana is rarely the problem. The Puente Hills thrust runs below this part of the basin, which makes old masonry the thing to keep an eye on.
What We Look at First
Past the brick surface for hidden rust stains, then the crown, then flue tile.
What Cannot Wait
Rust splitting brick from steel inside, a crack from the top down, a flue that lets smoke through.
What Can Wait
Scuffed face brick, a slightly stained crown, a loose hearth corner tile.
