Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Bell
Close to 4 in 10 homes in this small river city predate 1950, many of them bungalows on narrow lots with hand-built brick stacks. Renters and owners alike can ask us the same thing: is this old fireplace safe to use, and what does the camera show? Whittier Narrows shook this old masonry in 1987, and winter freezes are too rare to blame for what followed. Age and shaking do the damage here, while an occasional Santa Ana day tests any cap that was never fastened well.
What Could Feed a Fire
Heat reaching old framing through mortar gaps in a site-built brick chimney on a narrow lot.
How Fumes Could Get In
Worn joints in a pre-war stack, close enough to a neighbor's windows on a narrow lot to matter next door too.
What We Check First
Mortar and tile inside the old brick stack, because 1987 shaking may have opened gaps that no one patched.
