Learn MoreWhat we tell Yorba Linda owners
Eight in ten homes are owned here, and most fireplaces are factory-built or gas, though custom hillside homes may have masonry. Up the hill, embers from nearby wildland matter too. We name which of those apply to you and which do not. The east side has mapped very high fire hazard land, and hillside homes face ember exposure from wildland. Sun dries out crowns and mortar over time, and Chino Hills shook this city strongly, so cracks are worth checking.
What We Look at First
Ember mesh on eastern hillside homes, the fireplace type, then 2008 cracks.
What Cannot Wait
Ember mesh with gaps on the east side, a 2008 crack through masonry, a failed metal flue.
What Can Wait
Dull tile roof flashing paint, sun-worn stucco, a gas log set that looks dated.
