Learn MoreWhat we tell Claremont parents
Walk the Village and nearby Claremont streets and you pass Craftsman and Period Revival homes that may be well over a century old. Handsome brick from that era can hide worn mortar, which is a poor thing to discover with a toddler at the hearth. Foothill winter storms soak crowns and flashing, and nights run cooler here than on the valley floor. Summers are hot and dry, and Chino Hills shaking in 2008 reached town, so an old chimney has plenty to answer for.
Check at Home
Shine a flashlight at the damper before lighting a fire and make sure it opens fully, since old cast iron can stick after a summer of disuse.
Kids and Pets
Period fireplaces often have no modern screen, so add a sturdy freestanding one that a child or a dog cannot knock over.
What We Look At First
Old mortar and flue tile on Village-era homes, then the storm-soaked crown on top.
Next Door
We also take calls from Chino, San Dimas, La Verne.
