Learn MoreWhat we look after in La Habra
Citrus and avocado groves became La Habra's tract homes mainly from the 1950s through 1970s, and 77% of homes predate 1980. A chimney from that long stretch could be brick, block or metal. Guessing helps nobody, so we identify yours, then check what matters for it. The city that named the 2014 quake also felt 1987 and 2008, so joints and flues here have been tested more than once. Summer sun and heat dry out crowns and mortar, and rust begins wherever water gets in afterward.
The Houses
Around La Habra the stock runs to tract homes on old groves from the 1950s to the 1970s, plus plenty of apartments and condos.
Before the First Fire
Three notable quakes have reached here, so ask for a camera look at any untested flue before winter.
Care of the Room
Apartments keep their floor plans, tract homes keep their furniture, and every room gets a soft layer near the fire.
