Learn MoreReading the Top of a La Habra Heights Chimney
A small but unusual share of households here, around 1.4 percent, burn wood as their main heat, and masonry fireplaces are common. A flue that gets used hard deserves a close look, and steep access means planning the visit ahead. Brush-covered canyons keep wildfire on people's minds, enough that the Heights keeps a fire department of its own. Gusts in those canyons test cap mounts, and hot summers plus winter rain wear crowns and mortar steadily.
The Crown
A fireplace in regular use heats its crown from within too, and a heavier cast slab handles those swings better than a thin cap.
Joints and Flashing
Older custom homes may have mixed brick or stone, so the repointing mortar gets matched to each material rather than one blend.
Above the Roofline
Two quakes, in 1987 and 2014, reached these slopes, so the upper masonry gets checked for movement and relaid where loose.
