Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Ojai
Edward Libbey's money rebuilt downtown in a Spanish style about 1917, and cottages and Spanish homes still cluster close by. Farther out you get ranch homes and hillside properties. Older brick here may be unreinforced, so age tells us where to start. Summers run hot and winter nights go frosty, which puts crowns and mortar through more of a cycle than on the coast. Dry gusts can pry at caps and carry embers, and flames from the Wheeler Fire came near in 1985.
Ages on These Streets
Cottages close to downtown, ranch homes outward, hillside properties beyond, with about 1 in 9 homes prewar.
What Wears Out First
Crowns and joints cracked by frost and heat, then caps on outlying properties that face strong dry wind.
How We Sort It
In ember weather a poor cap counts as a safety item, and it goes ahead of frost wear on the crown.
Getting There
About 60 miles northwest, from our El Segundo base. Phones open 7 AM to 7 PM.
