Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Huntington Park
Over 40 percent of the homes here predate 1950, and a house of that age with a fireplace most likely has brick. Many lots also carry added units and renters are the large majority, so whoever owns the building is often not living under the chimney. Frost rarely plays a part, so old joints here wear from age, moisture and shaking. Morning marine clouds in late spring and early summer keep crowns wet, and the 1987 Whittier Narrows quake rattled this corner of the county.
The Houses
On our Huntington Park visits: pre-1950 houses with brick chimneys, lots with added units, apartment buildings, mostly rented homes.
On the Roof
Old brick at the roofline, crowns kept damp by morning clouds, and whether a cap was ever installed at all.
Which Metal
A simple stainless cap is the common need here: old unprotected flues let rain in, and salt is not the main concern at this distance.
