Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in San Fernando
Brick here carries a special history. Older streets have bungalows, and postwar blocks have modest stucco ranches, but many of their chimneys are unreinforced or lightly reinforced, the kind most easily damaged by shaking. That shapes our first questions. The 1971 quake, on the local fault zone, severely damaged this city and neighboring Sylmar, so old repairs matter as much as old cracks. Hot Valley summers and cool nights then work on crowns, and leaks tend to show in winter.
Ages on These Streets
A third of homes predate 1950, and many more are postwar ranches on blocks near Pacoima Wash.
What Wears Out First
Old patches on brick after 1971, then the crowns and flashing that begin leaking in the winter rain.
How We Sort It
An old repair is rated as sound or not; only the ones that have failed move onto the work list.
