Learn MoreReading the Top of an Orange County Chimney
Beyond its 34 cities, the county's unincorporated areas range from Rossmoor's fifties houses to Ladera Ranch from the 2000s. Masonry is more likely in the older pockets and metal in the newer. Half of all homes predate 1977, roughly the point where the switch happened. Fire has reached widely here, from Laguna in 1993 to Santiago and Silverado later, up toward a 5,689-foot peak in the Santa Anas. The north county felt two strong quakes in 2008 and 2014, and inland faults include the Whittier and Elsinore.
The Crown
Rossmoor-era stacks often want a new crown, while Ladera Ranch homes usually have a chase cover that does the job.
Joints and Flashing
Older brick gets repointing suited to its age, and chase seams get sealed, because neither fix works on the other.
Above the Roofline
Near Silverado and Modjeska, fire exposure makes a firm cap worth having, so we check yours and fasten it well.
