Learn MoreWhat we tell Villa Park owners
Nine in ten homes are lived in by the owners here, and 95 percent are detached, in a tiny city surrounded by others. Many date from around 1974, right when fireplaces were changing. You decide for yourself, and we explain what is there. Close to the foothills here, summers run warm and marine influence is limited. La Habra and Chino Hills both reached this town, so a crack is possible. Rain mainly comes from November through March, while winter alerts limit wood.
What We Look at First
1970s brick or metal, then crown or chase, then any quake cracks.
What Cannot Wait
Quake cracks letting in rain, a loose top section, a split metal flue joint.
What Can Wait
Sun wear on stucco, an old mantel, dulled metal on a large lot home's chase.
