The Houses
In El Monte we mostly see early 1900s older blocks, postwar tracts and bungalows, and many rentals.
Weather and Season
Whittier Narrows was a hard jolt for older valley masonry in 1987. Hot inland summers and wide daily swings have kept working on those joints since, and the November to April rain follows. Check the crown before it becomes a leak.
Same Drive
Arcadia, San Gabriel, Temple City sit on the same stretch of road, so a visit there often shares the day with El Monte.
The Report
You get photos and a plain-language write-up of your El Monte chimney before any repair is planned.
