Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in La Mirada
Andrew McNally's olive ranch gave way to a suburb, and few homes here predate 1950. Stucco and wood ranches from around 1960 are the norm, so a typical stack here has reached the age when the crown and upper joints start asking for attention. Warm, dry summers and rain from November through March are the usual wear here, and frost seldom plays a part. Felt here in 1987, the Whittier Narrows quake is a good reason to check any ranch-era stack for cracks.
Ages on These Streets
Owner-occupied ranch houses make up most streets, with condos and townhomes added in later building years.
What Wears Out First
The crown and upper mortar on ranch-era stacks, then flashing where the chimney meets the roof.
