Learn MoreChimney ages and weak spots in Whittier
Quaker settlers arrived in 1887, and the oldest houses still stand around Uptown, including Craftsman bungalows. About 3 in 10 homes are prewar, and brick from that time may be unreinforced, so we look closely at how the stack is holding together. A fault shares this city's name and runs through its hills, so old masonry has a nearby reason for concern. Hill neighborhoods run drier and windier than the plains below, and brushy slopes along the north edge carry some fire risk.
Ages on These Streets
Uptown houses from the earliest decades, then a great many postwar homes reaching toward the hills.
What Wears Out First
Unreinforced brick near the fault, then crowns and caps in hill neighborhoods exposed to more sun and wind.
How We Sort It
A fault-side crack on a century-old stack needs a straight answer, so it leads the notes and upkeep trails behind.
Getting There
About 23 miles east, from our El Segundo base. Phones open 7 AM to 7 PM.
