Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Azusa
Azusa's bungalows near Citrus Avenue and Foothill Boulevard carry the town's oldest chimneys, while homes from the seventies on may have metal flues in framed chases. One needs a mortar check and the other a chase cover check, and a roof photo shows which you own. Storms drop heavier rain close to the mountains, soaking crowns, mortar joints and flashing. Above town, the 2016 Reservoir and Fish Fires and the Sierra Madre Fault explain why embers and shaking both belong on the list.
The Houses
On our Azusa visits: 1880s and 1890s town center, bungalows near Citrus Avenue, postwar houses, later factory-built fireplaces in framed chases.
On the Roof
Spark arrestor mesh after two nearby fires, crown and joints after heavy storms, and the chase cover on any metal-flue home.
Which Metal
Rain and ember exposure matter more than salt at this end of the valley, so choose stainless with a fine screen and solid fasteners.
Same Day, Nearby
Azusa visits often share a day with Citrus, San Dimas, Vincent.
