Learn MoreWhat we tell Lakewood parents
A whole city went up in about three years around 1950, built by Weingart, Boyar and Taper, the story D.J. Waldie told in Holy Land. Lakewood chimneys of one age on a whole block mean what happens on one may be coming for the rest. Newport-Inglewood runs just to the southwest toward Long Beach and Signal Hill, so 70-year-old masonry here has that to worry about. Cool morning clouds wet the crown in May and June, and rain comes from November through March.
Check at Home
Chat with neighbors on your block about any chimney trouble, since homes built together age together and one house's problem may hint at yours.
Kids and Pets
Same-plan houses mean kids know each other's living rooms, so share your screen and matches rules with the families your children visit.
What We Look At First
Flue tile that has seen 70 years, then the crown on top.
Next Door
We also take calls from Hawaiian Gardens, Norwalk, Los Alamitos.
