Learn MoreReading the Top of a Buena Park Chimney
Founded in the 1880s, the town has very little housing from before 1950. About 3 in 4 homes went up before 1980, in a mix of detached houses and apartments, so a typical chimney is a mid-century stack that has simply aged. Summers stay moderate under marine influence, and steel rusts at a moderate pace too. Most wear comes from winter rain working on cracked crowns, and 2008's Chino Hills shaking also passed through here.
The Crown
Rain finds the shrinkage cracks in old crowns first, so we replace the whole top instead of skimming it over.
Joints and Flashing
Firm mid-century mortar suits a matching repair, so we keep to that and leave sound joints undisturbed.
Above the Roofline
Moderate rust still ends a steel cap eventually, and when it does we check the top row before fitting a new one.
