Learn MoreWhat we look after in Azusa
Azusa traces its center to the 1880s and 1890s, though only about one home in nine predates 1950. An old bungalow chimney and a 1960s block one fail differently. We separate the two, then say what yours needs and why. Foothill summers run hot and dry, winter nights turn cooler, and that swing keeps stretching mortar and exposed metal. Whittier Narrows in 1987 hurt older chimneys throughout the valley, which is reason enough to scope any untested stack.
The Houses
Around Azusa the stock runs to bungalows by Citrus Avenue and the old town center, postwar brick chimneys, and apartments.
Before the First Fire
Run a hand along the crown, look for rust on the cap, and get a sweep to confirm hot summers left the mortar intact.
Care of the Room
Bungalow woodwork close to the fireplace gets wrapped before work starts, and anything that shifted goes back to its exact spot afterward.
Close By
Azusa stops sometimes fall alongside Monrovia, Glendora, San Dimas.
