Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Torrance
Much of Torrance was built out after the war in tracts of ranch homes, many with a brick fireplace that has been in use ever since. On those, the crown and mortar are usually the first to go, and the damper is often rusted or stiff. Old Torrance, near downtown, has older houses still. West Torrance near the beach gets more salt air than the inland neighborhoods. Near the coast we look for rust on metal parts first; farther inland we look at crowns and mortar.
Ages on These Streets
Postwar ranch and tract houses with brick fireplaces, older homes in Old Torrance, and updated family homes with additions.
What Wears Out First
Crowns and mortar on postwar brick, rusted or stiff dampers, and the roof seam where an addition meets the old chimney.
How We Sort It
We separate what the original chimney needs from what an addition caused, since the fix for each is different.
Getting There
Southeast of the beach towns, from our El Segundo base. Phones open 7 AM to 7 PM.
