Learn MoreWhat we tell Cypress parents
Cypress tract houses are mostly wood-framed stucco, with a chimney that rarely gets any thought. About 3 in 4 homes predate 1980, so a parent there may be lighting a flue that has gone decades without anyone looking inside. Mid-basin weather means some marine layer, warm dry summers and modest salt, and hard freezes are rare. Shaking from La Habra in 2014 was moderate, but a flue that old does not need much to open a crack.
Check at Home
Note the date of your last chimney check on the inside of a kitchen cupboard, and if nobody knows it, assume it is overdue.
Kids and Pets
Keep crib sheets, dog blankets and toys a few feet back from the hearth, since fabric near a fire can catch from one stray spark.
What We Look At First
Decades-old flue tile first, then the crown and flashing.
