Learn MoreWhat we tell Westminster owners
Founded as a Presbyterian colony in 1870, this city was largely rural in 1933, so most of its houses came well after that quake. A regular tract lot with a post-war fireplace is the normal case. We check and give a straight read. About five miles from the ocean, marine influence is strong and summers stay warm. No wildfire history inside the city, so wind is the thing to watch. Santa Anas can loosen or strip a cap and spread embers.
What We Look at First
Cap fastening against Santa Anas, then crown wear from marine damp, then damper.
What Cannot Wait
A cap coming loose in gusts, a crown leaking into framing, a damper stuck closed.
What Can Wait
Marine dampness on a crown, faint soot, a dated tract surround.
Next Door
We also go to Cypress, Santa Ana, Stanton.
