Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Westminster
Stucco ranch tracts from the 1950s through 1970s cover most of this city on regular lots, with condos and apartments along the big streets. Three in four homes predate 1980, so a chimney here has usually been through many winters, and we plan for that wear. About five miles from the ocean, strong marine influence and some salt reach steel caps, though less than on the sand. Summers run warm, and frost is not a concern. Long Beach's 1933 fault passes to the southwest, near enough to check for cracks.
Ages on These Streets
Tract homes from three postwar decades on regular lots, about 55 percent detached, plus attached units on major streets.
What Wears Out First
Steel caps touched by mild salt air, and mortar on tract stacks after many winters.
How We Sort It
A rusted cap is a smaller job than a cracked flue, so the flue goes up top and the cap follows.
Getting There
About 27 miles southeast, from our El Segundo base. Phones open 7 AM to 7 PM.
