Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Compton
Close to a third of homes predate 1950, and much of the rest followed during the postwar years. The older chimneys are site-built brick, so mortar and flue tile lead the check; the later ones may hide gas logs with an aging damper behind them. Warm summers and rare winter freezes mean frost is not the problem here. Both Chino Hills in 2008 and La Habra in 2014 were widely felt, and each one is another test for older masonry, along with damp from low morning clouds.
Ages on These Streets
About three-quarters of the homes went up before 1980, split between prewar brick and later block or brick stacks.
What Wears Out First
Soft joints and tile on prewar brick, then dampers behind later gas logs, and flashing where damp air sits.
How We Sort It
If a crack affects safe use, it heads the page; anything cosmetic stays at the bottom with a note on why.
