Learn MoreWhat we look after in San Dimas
San Dimas grew mainly from the 1960s to the 1980s, straddling the change from brick to factory-built fireplaces. Your house might have either. We start by telling you which, because the wear to look for is different, and the advice afterward should be too. Heat, wind and wet winters all take a toll on crowns, mortar and metal caps at this foot of the San Gabriels. An active fault zone follows the mountain front close by, so flue joints of any kind deserve checking.
The Houses
Around San Dimas the stock runs to 1960s to 1980s suburban homes, older houses with brick chimneys, and 1970s or later factory-built fireplaces.
Before the First Fire
Foothill wind can loosen a cap on either type, so look up there, and have the flue checked for fault-country cracks or slips.
Care of the Room
Soot stays inside the firebox, cloths run from entry to hearth, and furniture goes back to its spot.
Close By
San Dimas stops sometimes fall alongside Via Verde, Charter Oak, Covina.
