Learn MoreWhat we look after in Cerritos
Half of Cerritos was built by 1974, and factory fireplaces are common among those two-story stucco tracts. A rusted metal flue or gone-soft firebrick panel can be easy to miss. We pull the screen, shine a light and tell you what is worn. Winter rain falls mostly between November and April, and a rare dry gust may shift a cap that was never tight. Shaking in 2008 and again in 2014 reached the whole area, and metal flue sections can loosen at their joints when the ground moves.
The Houses
Around Cerritos the stock runs to tract homes in two-story stucco, attached garages, some townhomes, many with factory-built fireplaces.
Before the First Fire
Cracked firebox panels or a metal pipe section out of line both matter on factory units, so have them seen before the season.
Care of the Room
Floors get plastic and cloth both, and we take shoes and tools across on the covers only.
Close By
Cerritos stops sometimes fall alongside Lakewood, Hawaiian Gardens, Buena Park.
