Learn MoreWhat we watch for in El Monte
Small stucco houses on narrow lots fill much of the city, with a few early 1900s blocks older still. Most households here rent, so a fireplace may have passed through many hands. A camera shows the state of the flue no matter who used it last. Sun and wide daily temperature swings stress mortar through the long dry season, and rain arrives from November on to test what opened. Two regional quakes, 2008 and 2014, also reached these old joints.
What Could Feed a Fire
Deposits left by past tenants in a small house flue, where the current household has no idea how much was burned.
How Fumes Could Get In
Sun-cracked mortar near the top of a stucco house chimney, letting wet air in and smoke out at the joints.
What We Check First
Crown and upper mortar for heat cracking, then the flue by camera to learn what past use left behind.
