Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Bell
About 4 in 10 homes predate 1950, many of them small bungalows on narrow lots. If yours still has a working brick fireplace, the mortar and flue tile deserve a look before it gets used. Renters should loop in the owner about any repairs. Masonry of this age took the 1933 Long Beach quake or was built soon after it, so cracks can be old and hidden. Winter rain then finds its way through any worn crown or joint.
Ages on These Streets
Narrow-lot bungalows from before the war, later small houses, and apartment buildings on the same blocks.
What Wears Out First
Old mortar and flue tile on small prewar stacks, then loose caps after a gusty dry spell in fall or winter.
How We Sort It
For a renter or an owner, cracks that affect a fire get written up plainly, apart from the items that are only aging.
