Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in South Pasadena
Much of this city's housing is from the decades around 1900 to the 1930s, and some early brick chimneys may predate clay flue liners becoming standard. That matters a lot, so we look at what lines the flue before talking about the rest of the stack. Worn crowns tend to leak when the rains arrive, usually from November through March. The Raymond Fault runs close by, Santa Ana gusts tug at weak caps, and No-Burn alerts in winter can keep a wood fire off the schedule anyway.
Ages on These Streets
Homes from the 1890s through the 1930s in several revival styles, then later apartments, with under half of units detached.
What Wears Out First
Flues on very old brick, sometimes with no clay liner, followed by soft mortar and leaking crowns.
How We Sort It
Finding no liner in an old flue is a safety matter, so it goes on the first line of your notes.
