Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Westlake Village
Very few homes here predate 1970, and no significant share predates 1950, so old brick is not the story. Lakefront and hillside streets hold larger custom homes, and half the housing went up before 1975. We check what that age of flue tends to develop. Winter nights turn cold enough for moderate temperature cycling on masonry and caps, and Santa Ana winds loosen anything poorly fastened. The 1994 Northridge quake shook this valley area, and at 30 years on, a crack from it would be well set in.
What Could Feed a Fire
Embers on a Santa Ana day reaching a poorly fastened cap, over deposits in a 50-year-old tract flue.
How Fumes Could Get In
Joints shaken in 1994 inside a flue that has not been opened up since, leaking into a detached home.
What We Check First
The fit of the cap in Santa Ana country, then flue joints by camera for lasting 1994 damage.
