Learn MoreWhat we look after in West Covina
Most of West Covina's valley floor is 1950s and 1960s stucco ranch homes, each likely with a single brick chimney, often reinforced with steel. Steel helps, but it does not stop mortar from aging. We check how the joints have weathered and describe them in plain language. Hot, dry summers followed by cool nights keep masonry moving, and any crack that opens shows up as a leak once rain comes. Both 1987 and 2008 shook this city, so an old flue merits a look inside.
The Houses
Around West Covina the stock runs to valley floor ranches in stucco from the postwar decades, plus condos and apartments.
Before the First Fire
Steel inside the chimney will not show you worn mortar, so have the joints seen after any long dry summer.
Care of the Room
Ranch rooms often run long and open, so the path gets covered first and furniture stays put where possible.
