Azusa Roofs We Climb
On these streets the chimneys sit on brick-chimney houses in the older blocks, 1970s metal flues, and Rosedale's newer tracts up the slope. If your house is near one of the names below, it is on our Azusa run.

Learn MoreReading the Top of an Azusa Chimney
Up in Rosedale, on the old nursery land, expect newer framed chases; lower down, houses are older and two in three predate 1980. A brick fix and a chase fix share almost nothing, so we sort that out first. Fish and Reservoir fires burned above town in 2016, and strong winds rake the foot of the mountains here. Embers and loose caps make the top of the chimney the part to keep tight.
The Crown
Sun and sharp daily swings pull at a crown until it checks, so a cracked one gets replaced with a thicker cast slab.
Joints and Flashing
Exposed metal and mortar both wear in this heat, and we go after open joints and lifted flashing before they become leaks.
Above the Roofline
A chase cover needs a real slope and solid fastening along this windy stretch, so flat or rusted ones get replaced outright.
