Industry ZIP Codes We Visit
Give us the street when you call. In a coastal ZIP, the roof check gives more time to rust on the cap and flashing.

Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Industry
With about 40 housing units, Industry barely registers as a place to live, and its housing statistics are rough. The few households here get the same look from the roof at their chimney as anyone else. Heat in summer and rain in winter slowly wear down crowns, mortar and metal caps here. Fall and winter Santa Anas gust through the valley, and the 2008 Chino Hills quake, just to the east, was felt.
The Houses
On our Industry visits: about 40 housing units, mainly detached, plus historic homestead buildings at the museum.
On the Roof
Crown, cap, flashing and top mortar, the same short list for any of the few chimneys in this mainly industrial city.
Which Metal
A standard stainless cap is enough this far from the sand, as long as it is fastened against gusts moving through the valley.
Same Day, Nearby
Industry visits often share a day with Walnut, Bassett, Valinda.
