Learn MoreWhat we look after in Bellflower
Dairy pasture gave way fast to tract homes in the 1940s and 1950s, so Bellflower has a lot of chimneys of about the same age. Age alone settles nothing, though. We look up each flue and write down its actual condition, joint by joint. Gray mornings and warm, not scorching, summers make for easy weather on masonry, yet 1933 still hangs over any unreinforced brick in the area. South Coast alerts also stop wood fires on some winter days, so check before lighting.
The Houses
Around Bellflower the stock runs to 1940s and 1950s tract houses, apartments and rental units, about half single-family.
Before the First Fire
Tract chimneys from the 1950s often look identical outside and differ badly within, so ask for a look up yours before burning anything.
Care of the Room
Whether owner or tenant lives there, floors get covered from the entry in, and the brushes only run with the vacuum alongside.
Close By
Bellflower stops sometimes fall alongside Cerritos, Lakewood, Paramount.
