Learn MoreWhat we tell San Juan Capistrano parents
San Juan Capistrano has adobes in Los Rios and estate lots from later decades, a rare spread for one town. Some of those old fireplaces may be adobe or masonry, and a family living with such history should have a very careful look inside. In 1812 an earthquake toppled the Great Stone Church at the Mission and about 40 people died, a hard reminder of what masonry can do. Santa Ana gusts can pull a cap off and scatter embers, and canyon brush stays a seasonal worry.
Check at Home
On adobe or very old masonry, avoid any quick fix without advice, because the wrong patch can trap water and speed the damage.
Kids and Pets
Old masonry can shed grit that small children and pets may pick up, so wash hands and paws after playing near it.
What We Look At First
Old adobe or masonry first, then the cap against canyon gusts.
Next Door
We also take calls from San Clemente, Laguna Niguel, Rancho Mission Viejo.
