Learn MoreWhat we tell Pico Rivera owners
Seven in ten households own here, and a modest ranch-style lot is what most of them own. Nearly every house is old enough now that the fireplace merits one honest look. You get a list with the urgent items at the top. Whittier Narrows hit just to the north in 1987 and damaged this area. Since then, low clouds and winter rain have had decades to work on anything that opened up, though frost remains uncommon.
What We Look at First
Any leftover 1987 crack, the crown it could lead to, and the flue beside it.
What Cannot Wait
A crack from 1987 now taking on water, a blocked flue, smoke stains spreading above the opening.
What Can Wait
Tired grout on the hearth, cosmetic staining on stucco, a loose but working screen handle.
Next Door
We also go to Downey, Whittier, Montebello.
