Learn MoreWhat we tell Brea owners
This oil town from 1917 mainly grew after the 1950s, so a house may hold old brick or something much newer. Up toward Carbon Canyon, the worry is different again. We walk you through what applies at your address, and nothing more. The 2008 Freeway Complex burned Olinda Ranch houses out by Carbon Canyon. Chino Hills that year and La Habra in 2014 both shook hard, so check brick for cracks, and rain from November on shows them as leaks.
What We Look at First
Crack checks after 2008 and 2014, then spark mesh on the Carbon Canyon side.
What Cannot Wait
A brick crack that leaks when it rains, torn spark mesh near Olinda Ranch, a stripped cap.
What Can Wait
Stained face brick on a tract house, a tired mantel, slight rust on a sound top.
