Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Avalon
Half the homes went up before 1950, which makes this one of the older housing mixes we cover. Cottages and hillside houses of that age deserve a slow look at the flue and mortar, and condos need their own questions about what was installed. Salty air eats galvanized caps, chase covers and flashing fast here, and fog keeps the masonry damp. Island fire is real too: about 4,750 acres went up in 2007, with evacuations, so a sound cap matters.
Ages on These Streets
Early cottages and Spanish Revival homes climbing the canyon, with condos added among them and few detached houses.
What Wears Out First
Galvanized caps and chase covers go to rust quickly in the salt, then damp works its way into older mortar.
How We Sort It
Rust that has eaten through a cap or flashing comes ahead of surface staining, which simply gets noted and watched.
Getting There
About 40 miles south, on the island, from our El Segundo base. Phones open 7 AM to 7 PM.
