Learn MoreWhat we look after in Tustin
Old Town Tustin is a protected Cultural Resources District with brick chimneys on its early 1900s homes, and later housing covers most other streets. About a third of units are detached. In Old Town, any repair may touch the district's rules, so we explain findings before anything else. Warm inland summers and modest marine air mean steady but gentle wear. Dry Santa Ana gusts can strip a poor cap, and La Habra reached here in 2014, a fair reason to scope any Old Town chimney that has not been looked at lately.
The Houses
Around Tustin the stock runs to early 1900s homes and brick chimneys in Old Town Tustin, later attached housing, with larger lots nearby.
Before the First Fire
Old Town chimneys should get a camera before fires, and newer attached homes should have the cap and venting seen.
