Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Alhambra
On Granada, Cordova and Almansor, a house from the 1920s to 1940s likely has a chimney built brick by brick on site. That kind of stack loses mortar with age and cracks in quakes, so joints and flue tile get checked before anything else. The 1987 Whittier Narrows quake hurt old masonry across this valley, and a crack from then may still be open. Hot sun keeps working on mortar and crowns, while dry winter gusts test any loose cap.
Ages on These Streets
Revival-style houses and Craftsman homes on the older blocks, with most units in attached or apartment buildings.
What Wears Out First
Soft joints and cracked tile on hand-built stacks, followed by crowns dried out by years of valley sun.
How We Sort It
Cracks left by shaking lead the list because they touch safe use, and sun-worn joints that can wait come after.
