The Houses
In South El Monte we mostly see postwar detached houses and apartments, set among warehouses and light industry.
Weather and Season
Whittier Narrows was centered very close to town in 1987, so we take a hard look at any masonry that stood through it. Inland heat and cool nights work the crown, and gusty fall air can loosen caps that were poorly fastened.
Same Drive
La Puente, El Monte, Temple City sit on the same stretch of road, so a visit there often shares the day with South El Monte.
The Report
You get photos and a plain-language write-up of your South El Monte chimney before any repair is planned.
