Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Sherman Oaks
Post-war tracts tend to carry one brick chimney with steel in it, now decades old. Hillside customs south of the boulevard vary from midcentury on, and apartments often have gas or factory-built units. We sort which you have before deciding how to check it. South of Ventura Boulevard, the hillsides count among the highest fire hazard areas Los Angeles maps, so a screened cap matters there. Winter nights cycle mortar through expansion and contraction, and the 1971 San Fernando quake shook the Valley well before 1994.
What Could Feed a Fire
Fire weather on the hillsides south of the boulevard, where embers can reach a home through a damaged cap.
How Fumes Could Get In
Old brick joints opened by Valley shaking, or a gas unit in an apartment venting through a worn metal flue.
What We Check First
Which of three setups you have, then the cap on hillsides or the post-war flue by camera.
