Learn MoreHow we work a chimney in San Fernando
Charles Maclay's 1874 town now holds homes of many ages, and a third of them predate 1950. Unreinforced or lightly reinforced brick from before modern seismic rules is the type quakes hurt most easily, so we read those stacks closely. Sayre in 2008 burned next door in Sylmar, and wind through the passes can run strong, so caps matter here. The 1994 quake hurt older buildings too. Rain through March then shows up a split crown or tired flashing as a leak.
What We Check on the Roof
Lightly reinforced older brick, wind-tested caps, and flashing that leaks when rains come.
What the Same Crew Fixes
Masonry repairs here stay with the crew that spotted the crack and photographed it.
Brush Work Here
Old Maclay-era flues and postwar flues get rotary heads turned by hand.
Next Door
We also climb roofs in Sylmar.
