Learn MoreReading the Top of a Corona Chimney
A quarter of homes predate 1980, and half came after 1991, so Corona's chimney is more likely a metal chase in a tract than old brick. The custom hillside homes near the forest are the exception, and those take a closer look. Winds through the canyon gateway strip caps and carry embers, and the Canyon Fire threatened homes near town in 2017. Temescal Valley also holds the Elsinore fault zone, so hillside stacks face shaking as well.
The Crown
Hillside customs with real masonry get a cast crown when theirs cracks, while tract chases get a sloped cover instead.
Joints and Flashing
Sun and little marine air dry stucco seams quickly, so cracks there open sooner and we seal them where water enters.
Above the Roofline
Canyon wind tears at weak fixings, and we fasten caps and covers to sound material for what comes through here.
