Learn MoreWhat we watch for in El Segundo
El Segundo has many original houses still on their first chimney. Owners here usually want a straight answer on safety, so we go through the firebox, damper, smoke chamber and flue in that order and say what each one means for fire and for carbon monoxide. Wind off the water carries salt across town, and the caps and crowns show it. A crown cracked by that exposure lets water into the stack, and wet masonry is where most flue damage begins.
What Could Feed a Fire
Creosote in original flues and a smoke chamber that has never been parged smooth.
How Fumes Could Get In
Water damage to the flue from crowns cracked by salt wind off the ocean.
What We Check First
Firebox, damper, smoke chamber and flue, in that order.
