Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Hawthorne
Only about 1 unit in 4 is a detached house here, so a chimney usually belongs to an aviation-era bungalow or tract home. Those stacks date from the 1930s through the 1960s, and our camera looks for what decades of quiet use can leave behind. Gray marine mornings and damp air slowly rust bare steel caps and keep crowns wet. Northridge in 1994 was felt across the South Bay, so a cracked tile from that shaking is possible even at this distance from the Valley.
What Could Feed a Fire
Years of light use in an old bungalow flue, with deposits still clinging where the liner has gone rough.
How Fumes Could Get In
Rusted steel at the top letting marine damp into the masonry, which slowly opens joints along the flue.
What We Check First
Rust on the cap and flashing from marine air, then the old flue by camera, top to bottom.
