Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Brea
Incorporated in 1917 as an oil town, Brea did most of its building after the 1950s. Older small homes sit near downtown, and tracts and hillside houses spread out from there, so which side of town you are on tells us a lot about the chimney. The Whittier Fault crosses the Puente Hills here, which makes older masonry worth checking for shifts. Dry fall and winter gusts test caps and move embers, while No-Burn days between November and February can limit wood fires.
Ages on These Streets
Small homes near downtown, then postwar tracts and hillside houses; only a little over half of units are detached.
What Wears Out First
Joints on downtown stacks near the fault, and caps on hillside homes that catch the Santa Ana gusts.
How We Sort It
Hill or flat, a shifted stack goes first; ordinary wear is written out for you to plan over the coming years.
Getting There
About 32 miles east, from our El Segundo base. Phones open 7 AM to 7 PM.
