Learn MoreReading the Top of a Santa Fe Springs Chimney
Warehouses take up much of Santa Fe Springs, with homes clustered in pockets. Postwar tracts usually got one brick chimney per house, often reinforced with steel, but decades of weather have reached even the sound ones. Temperatures sit between coast and inland extremes, with a bit of ocean air and the odd Santa Ana. The 1987 Whittier Narrows quake was close and rough on this area, so even steel-reinforced stacks may have tired tops.
The Crown
Where a crown has failed, water can reach embedded steel, and rust then swells and cracks the brick around it.
Joints and Flashing
We repoint open joints before moisture gets to any steel inside, since that kind of damage is harder to repair later.
Above the Roofline
Shaking in 1987 mostly showed at the top, and we check those courses and reset any that have worked loose.
Booked Alongside
Santa Fe Springs roof visits often share a day with La Mirada, Pico Rivera, West Whittier.
