Learn MoreWhat we tell Hawthorne parents
With barely a quarter of its homes detached, Hawthorne has far more apartments than chimneys. In the bungalow and tract houses left from the aviation decades, a parent often rents the fireplace along with the house and inherits whatever the flue has become. Cool overcast on May and June mornings keeps crowns wet, and sea-damp air slowly rusts bare steel flashing. The shaking from Northridge carried this far too, which a family cannot rule out without seeing inside.
Check at Home
Run your hand along the fireplace wall when the room is cold, and report any damp patch, since sea air and rain often arrive through the top.
Kids and Pets
Rain-soaked soot can smell strong enough to bother a child with asthma, so tell the landlord about any odor that comes on after wet weather.
What We Look At First
Rust on the flashing, wet spots on the crown, then the old flue itself.
Next Door
We also take calls from Alondra Park, Lawndale, Gardena.
