Learn MoreWhat we look after in Norwalk
Dairies and farms turned into Norwalk's tracts mainly during the 1950s, and two thirds of households own today. A chimney that age may have passed through two or three owners by now. We give you the record it may never have had, in plain words. Sun by summer and moisture by winter wear on crowns and mortar here, slowly but without a break. Shaking reached Norwalk in both 1987 and 2014, and frost is uncommon, so quakes and age are the main questions.
The Houses
Around Norwalk the stock runs to owner-occupied tract houses built on former dairy and farm land, mostly from the 1950s.

If no paperwork came with the house, consider this the year to have the flue seen and the findings written down.
Care of the Room
We keep to the shortest path across the house, with cloths laid before the first bag comes through the door.
