Learn MoreWhat we tell Walnut parents
Detached houses make up almost all of Walnut, and about 84 percent are owned, on suburban lots near equestrian trails. Half went up after 1982, so a parent may have factory-built metal in place of old brick, with a very different set of worries. A few miles east of Walnut, the 2008 Chino Hills quake hit hard. Santa Ana gusts lift loose caps and throw embers, and any leak from a cracked crown tends to appear from November through March.
Check at Home
After shaking, check that the fireplace front still sits square in the wall, since a metal unit can shift and open a gap.
Kids and Pets
Glass and metal fronts can burn a child who leans in, so keep a barrier on and stop dogs from napping against a warm unit.
What We Look At First
Metal flue joints shaken in 2008, then the cap and mesh against the gusts.
Next Door
We also take calls from Phillips Ranch, Industry, West Covina.
