Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Compton
Older sections hold bungalows and pre-war homes, and about 3 in 10 houses go back before 1950. Richland Farms adds horse lots with a rural feel. Brick this age is why we scan the liner rather than trust the look of a clean firebox. Few towns were hit harder than Compton by the 1933 Long Beach quake, so any chimney from that era deserves suspicion. Rain from November through April then works on crowns and joints, while marine clouds keep them damp into summer.
What Could Feed a Fire
Heat escaping through old quake gaps in pre-war brick, reaching framing that has been drying for almost a century.
How Fumes Could Get In
A pre-1933 flue repaired on the outside after the quake, with cracked tile possibly left behind the newer brick.
What We Check First
Whether the chimney predates or follows 1933, then the tile and joints on camera with that in mind.
