Learn MoreReading the Top of an Industry Chimney
Roughly 40 homes exist in this entire city, so census percentages here mean little, and we would not pretend otherwise. If you live in one of them with a chimney, we assess it like any other, on its own build. Fall and winter gusts move through this part of the valley, and winter rain does the rest. Chino Hills in 2008 was centered not far east and was felt here, which is worth keeping in mind for old masonry.
The Crown
With so few houses there is no typical crown to describe, so we report what yours is made of and how it drains.
Joints and Flashing
Any open mortar joint or lifted roof seam gets noted and photographed, then matched with a repair suited to that brick.
Above the Roofline
Above the roof we test for movement and a sound cap mount, since the Chino Hills shaking reached this far.
Booked Alongside
Industry roof visits often share a day with Valinda, La Puente, Walnut.
Before Any Repair
Tell us what you see on top of your Industry chimney.
A cracked crown, a stain beside the stack, brick that looks out of line. That is enough for us to plan the roof visit, and we explain the build before we quote.
