Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Los Angeles
Westchester and Playa del Rey border El Segundo to the north, and they are the parts of Los Angeles we reach first. Down by the harbor, San Pedro and Harbor City have older bungalows and postwar houses. Either way, the chimney's age decides the visit: brick and clay tile get a mortar and liner check, later fireplaces get their metal parts looked at. By the harbor, damp sea air rusts dampers and caps and wears on brick. Near the airport it is drier, and the concern on older masonry shifts to cracked crowns and earthquake damage.
Ages on These Streets
Mid-century homes in Westchester and Playa del Rey, older harbor-side bungalows in San Pedro, and postwar houses in Harbor City and Harbor Gateway.
What Wears Out First
Mid-century brick: crown cracks and earthquake damage. Harbor bungalows: rusted dampers and caps and salt-worn mortar.
How We Sort It
An older patch on a cracked chimney is noted as holding or not. Only the ones that are not holding go on the work list.
Getting There
Right on our north edge, from our El Segundo base. Phones open 7 AM to 7 PM.
