Learn MoreWhat we tell Cypress owners
Built as dairy land turned suburban from the 1950s through the 1970s, this city crosses the line between site-built masonry and factory units. Your house date tells us a lot. Share it, and our first explanation is more useful to you. Marine layer mornings and warm summers make for mid-basin conditions, with salt moderate and hard freezes rare. La Habra in 2014 brought moderate shaking here, so older masonry should get a look, while wildfire is not an issue.
What We Look at First
Build date first, then brick or metal, then any 2014 cracks.
What Cannot Wait
Masonry cracked in the 2014 shaking and leaking, a metal flue apart, a damper that has failed shut.
What Can Wait
Faint staining on block, an aged screen, ordinary wear on a condo gas fireplace.
