What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Glendale
Glendale's older homes often have unlined or partly lined chimneys built before modern standards. The camera report shows where the liner stops, what condition the mortar is in, and whether the chimney is ready for continued use or needs a liner first. Older brick and lime mortar take seismic shaking poorly, and many Glendale chimneys carry repairs from past earthquakes. We map those cracks separately from ordinary wear so the next step is clear.
