Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Paramount
Most households rent, and under half the units are detached, so not every address here has a chimney to worry about. Postwar one-story houses are the likely ones, and at that age the flue, firebox and upper joints are where a check begins. This area was still farm towns when the 1933 Long Beach quake hit, and it took damage then. Today it sees mild winters and low cloud in May and June, so moisture does more than temperature to wear crowns and flashing.
Ages on These Streets
Modest one-story houses from after the war, mixed with apartment complexes; about 6 in 10 homes predate 1980.
What Wears Out First
Upper joints and flashing kept damp by low cloud, and firebox brick in those postwar one-story houses.
How We Sort It
Most owners here want a short answer, so the sheet opens with safe or not safe, and details come after.
