Learn MoreHow we work a chimney in Los Angeles
The Los Angeles we work in most is right next door: Harbor City borders Lomita, and San Pedro, Wilmington and the Harbor Gateway strip are a short drive. Older harbor homes tend to age at the top first, so we climb up and check the cap, crown and top joints, then brush the flue by hand from below. Harbor air carries salt and port grime, so a dull cap here is often thinner than it looks. Brick stacks in the city have ridden out more than one Southern California earthquake, and we look for cracks across the brick and a loose crown on every visit, then tell you plainly whether the repair can wait.
What We Check on the Roof
Thin, grimy caps from harbor air, loose crowns, and cracks across the brick from past earthquakes.
What the Same Crew Fixes
Crowns reset, cracks repaired and caps replaced, by the crew that photographed them.
Brush Work Here
Older harbor-home flues brushed by hand with rotary heads, damper cleaned.
