Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Cerritos
More than 8 in 10 homes went up before 1980, but very few before 1950, so most houses share one narrow building period. By then metal fireplaces were arriving, and the framed chase needs a different check than a brick one. Rain from November through April tests any flashing or crown on a stack of this age. Morning low clouds in early summer keep things a little damp, and the area has felt the Newport-Inglewood Fault before, in 1933.
Ages on These Streets
Largely 1970s two-story stucco tracts, with attached garages, and some townhomes filling in around the mall and library.
What Wears Out First
Metal caps and chase tops on factory-built units, or flashing and crown where the stack is brick or block.
How We Sort It
A leak at the chase is treated as the first job, and minor cap wear is left for a later visit.
Getting There
About 20 miles east, from our El Segundo base. Phones open 7 AM to 7 PM.
