Learn MoreWhat we tell La Puente owners
Where walnut trees once stood, most of the housing rose in the mid century, and about eight in ten homes are older than 1980. Not every tract got a fireplace. If yours did, you probably have brick or block, and we explain its state plainly. Hot, dry summers and mild winters go easy on brick, but years of it still wear a crown. Winter no-burn alerts limit wood fires here, and 2008's Chino Hills shaking may have left a crack worth looking for.
What We Look at First
Brick or block construction, then crown wear from summer heat, then the smoke chamber.
What Cannot Wait
Block joints opening near the roof, a blocked smoke chamber, a flue that lets smoke indoors.
What Can Wait
Grooved mortar with no gaps, a crown that has dulled, an old grate that has warped.
