Learn MoreWhat we look after in Vernon
Vernon has been an industrial city from its 1905 start, and only about a hundred housing units exist, most of them apartments built in the 2010s. So a fireplace here is a rare thing. If you do have one, it gets the ordinary full check. Moderate temperatures and some marine air treat chimneys gently here, though cracked crowns still leak when winter rain comes. Whittier Narrows reached this area in 1987, so any older brick that remains deserves a look inside.
The Houses
Around Vernon the stock runs to about a hundred housing units, mostly 2010s apartments, plus a few older homes.
Before the First Fire
An unused fireplace in an older unit may be blocked or damaged, so have it opened and looked at before any fire.
Care of the Room
Small apartments get a small kit, tight covers and a tidy finish, with nothing left in shared areas.
Close By
Vernon stops sometimes fall alongside Florence, Walnut Park, East Los Angeles.
