Learn MoreHow we work a chimney in South Gate
Nearly half of South Gate was standing before 1950, in bungalows and later postwar tracts. A single brick chimney is usual, sometimes reinforced with steel, but now decades old. Either way, the top is where age shows up first. Long Beach in 1933 hit buildings across this part of the basin, so old brick here has history. Marine air keeps things moderate, but rain through March still leaks through broken crowns and worn flashing, and Santa Ana gusts test caps.
What We Check on the Roof
Crowns and flashing that leak in rain, plus cracks on 1920s to 1950s brick.
What the Same Crew Fixes
The person who showed you the crown photos does the mortar work afterward.
Brush Work Here
Bungalow and tract flues brushed by hand from the firebox, smoke shelf left clear.
