Learn MoreWhat we tell San Fernando parents
Shaking in 1971 and 1994 means plenty of old San Fernando chimneys have likely been rebuilt or replaced, sometimes more than once. A family has no way of knowing how well that was done without a look, and bungalows leave little space between hearth and bed. Gusts funnel through the passes here, and Santa Anas can blow hard along this side of the Valley. Rain from November through March exposes cracked crowns as leaks, and no-burn days are declared over the same months.
Check at Home
When rain leaves a stain on a wall near the chimney, take a dated photo, because it helps show whether a crown or flashing has failed.
Kids and Pets
In a small bungalow, keep the hearth clear of pet bowls and toys, since an old rebuilt firebox can drop mortar without warning.
What We Look At First
How earlier rebuilds have held, then any leaks at the crown and flashing.
Next Door
We also take calls from Sylmar.
