Learn MoreReading the Top of an Aliso Viejo Chimney
This is young housing: half was built after 1995, with attached homes making up much of it. Expect metal flues and factory-built units, not brick. Chimney issues here are about covers and stucco. Salt reaches here more lightly than on the coast, but marine moisture still gets into metal parts over time. A blind thrust lies under the nearby hills, and winds off the slopes test how well a chase cover is attached.
The Crown
Few homes here have a true crown, so the sloped metal cover on your chase does that job and should be checked.
Joints and Flashing
Stucco chase corners open up gradually, and we repair the seam instead of painting over the crack.
Above the Roofline
Metal covers and caps catch marine moisture, so rusting parts come off and new ones go on sloped to the edge.
