Learn MoreReading the Top of a Moorpark Chimney
Just 1 in 5 homes predates 1980, so factory-built metal fireplaces are the most likely build. Masonry still exists on the older ones. Northridge also damaged homes here in 1994, so an older brick stack may have quiet damage to check. Inland summers run warm to hot, nights cool off, and Santa Anas loosen what is poorly attached. Guiberson burned just north in 2009, a reminder that a cap sits at the most exposed spot on the house.
The Crown
The few older masonry stacks here carry 1994 stress, and a crown that split then may have been leaking ever since.
Joints and Flashing
On metal-flue homes the seam work is stucco and flashing, and we repair those junctions so rain stays out of the chase.
Above the Roofline
Covers should slope and be fastened for Santa Anas, so flat or poorly attached ones come off and get replaced.
Booked Alongside
