Learn MoreWhat we tell Tustin owners
Barely a third of units stand alone, and Tustin Ranch and Tustin Legacy are largely gas or factory-built country. A newer unit can still have a problem. If yours has one, we explain it, and whether you or an association should fix it. Canyon 2 forced evacuations in the foothills in 2017, so screens matter there. Otherwise sun and heat dry out crowns and sealants, gusts strip caps, and La Habra was felt here in 2014.
What We Look at First
Gas or factory-unit parts, the cap, then foothill spark screens after Canyon 2.
What Cannot Wait
A gas smell, a cap stripped in the gusts, a foothill screen with holes.
What Can Wait
Sun-dried caulk, sooty ceramic logs, a dated remote on a Ranch home's unit.
