Learn MoreWhat we tell Laguna Woods owners
Only 7 percent of homes are detached here, so most fireplaces, where they exist, belong to a co-op or condo manor. Your association may own the flue. We put findings in plain language you can bring to the board. Surrounded by developed cities, this place has seen no major wildfire, and no named quake is centered here. With mild marine air and few freezes, the wear is slow, though 90 percent of homes are old enough to show it.
What We Look at First
Which parts the manor owns, then the firebox, then the flue if we can reach it.
What Cannot Wait
Smoke entering a neighbor's unit, a cracked shared flue, water coming down a manor chase.
What Can Wait
Worn hearth tile, a stiff damper, dated glass doors that still close well.
