Learn MoreWhat we tell Walnut owners
Close to all homes here are detached, more than eight in ten owner-occupied, with many built after 1980. So a fireplace here may be either a metal unit or older masonry, and you will want to know which before spending anything. When Chino Hills struck a few miles east in 2008, this city shook hard. Dry fall gusts also move embers and test caps, while rain from November through March makes a broken crown show as a leak.
What We Look at First
Type of fireplace first, cracks from 2008 next, then cap and crown.
What Cannot Wait
Masonry that shifted in 2008, a metal joint apart, a cap the gusts have loosened.
What Can Wait
Sun-faded chase stucco, a slightly dull cap, cosmetic wear on a larger-lot home's hearth.
