Learn MoreWhat we tell La Habra owners
Citrus and avocado groves became tracts here in the 1950s through the 1970s, and nearly eight in ten homes are now older than 1980. These chimneys may have gone their whole life unchecked. We start from that and tell you what shows up. A 2014 quake was named for this city, and 1987 and 2008 were felt here as well. Long summers dry and crack crowns, and then gusts in fall and winter can loosen or strip whatever is left.
What We Look at First
Cracks after three quakes, sun-dried crowns, then the cap's fasteners.
What Cannot Wait
A stack cracked across a joint, a crown dried and split open, a cap ready to strip off.
What Can Wait
Sun-chalked mortar with plenty of depth, a dusty firebox, tired mantel varnish.
