Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Lakewood
About 9 in 10 homes predate 1980, and many are variations on a handful of floor plans, the houses D.J. Waldie wrote about in Holy Land. Shared age means shared wear, though a chimney still gets judged on its own condition. Morning clouds in May and June and winter rain keep crowns from fully drying, while frost is rare. These tracts went up after the 1933 Long Beach quake hit the area, so later shaking and plain age are what they have faced.
Ages on These Streets
Small tract homes from the 1950s make up most streets, with 8 in 10 detached and few prewar.
What Wears Out First
Crowns and upper joints that stay damp through low-cloud mornings, then the dampers on these small original fireplaces.
How We Sort It
Same floor plan does not mean same list; what affects your chimney's safe use goes first, whatever your neighbor needs.
