Learn MoreWhat we watch for in South Gate
Nearly half the housing here goes back before 1950, and many blocks mix single-family houses with small apartment buildings. A fireplace may share walls or air with a neighbor more than one would think, so we follow the flue through the whole building when we scan it. Marine air reaches this far inland only weakly, so rust is moderate and not the leading problem. Older masonry around here went through the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, and winter rain still finds any crack in a crown.
What Could Feed a Fire
Heat through old brick in a house sharing its lot with small apartment buildings, close to other people's walls.
How Fumes Could Get In
Exhaust leaking from a pre-1950 flue toward a nearby unit, not just the home with the fireplace.
What We Check First
Who lives close to the flue, then old tile and mortar by camera for 1933 and later cracks.

We often visit Lynwood, Paramount and Walnut Park on the same day as South Gate.
