Learn MoreWhat we tell Laguna Niguel owners
Fewer than one in four homes predates 1980, so metal or gas is the rule, and only some custom hillside houses have masonry. That makes this simple to explain. You hear what yours is, which parts age, and how soon they could fail. Graded hillsides and landslides are the ground concern close to home, ahead of the offshore fault zone. Hard Santa Anas can strip caps on an exposed slope and carry embers, and rain mostly falls between November and March.
What We Look at First
Cap fastening on an exposed slope, then the ember mesh, then the metal flue or gas burner.
What Cannot Wait
Ember mesh with holes on a slope, a cap stripped by wind, ground movement pulling at a stack.
What Can Wait
Faded chase paint, a cloudy glass panel, a loose decorative stone on a gas surround.
