Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Montebello
Stucco houses from the post-war years cover most of the city, with hill-area homes to the north, and about 84 percent of all housing predates 1980. Fireplaces where they exist are usually brick masonry. We check that mortar closely, given what happened here in 1987. Damage in this city came directly from the 1987 Whittier Narrows shaking, centered a short way east, so any older flue may have taken a hit. Morning clouds in late spring and warm dry summers add slow wear to crowns and joints.
What Could Feed a Fire
Heat passing through a 1987 crack in post-war brick toward framing in a stucco house built around it.
How Fumes Could Get In
Liner gaps from 1987 hidden behind a repaired face of brick, so smoke finds its way into the wall.
What We Check First
Tile near the middle of the flue for 1987 damage, then mortar joints up to the crown.

We often visit Commerce, South San Gabriel and Bell Gardens on the same day as Montebello.
