Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Inglewood
Many of Inglewood's older brick chimneys have been through several earthquakes, and the city sits along the Newport-Inglewood fault. On a chimney of that age we look first at the clay flue tiles, the crown and how the stack ties to the house, since that is where shaking and time show up. The weather is mild here, so age and earthquakes do more of the damage than wind or salt. Mortar that has gone soft and a chimney leaning away from the wall are the two things we check before anything else on older brick.
Ages on These Streets
Spanish style houses and stucco bungalows from the city's early decades, plus postwar homes on the residential streets.
What Wears Out First
Clay flue tiles cracked by shaking, a crown that has shifted, and mortar gone soft with age. We also check whether the stack has pulled away from the wall.
How We Sort It
If a crack or a lean affects safe use, we say so first and plainly. Wear that only needs watching goes on the later list.
Getting There
Northeast, past the airport, from our El Segundo base. Phones open 7 AM to 7 PM.
