Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Placentia
Incorporated in 1926 and home to the 1902 Bradford House, this city grew mostly later, and about 60 percent of homes predate 1980. Brick or block fireplaces of that era make way for factory-built units in later houses. Which one you have decides what the camera looks for. Long summer sun opens cracks in a crown, and any water that follows can start rust below. Dry fall gusts can strip a cap, and fires burned just east in Yorba Linda in both 2008 and 2020.
What Could Feed a Fire
Embers carried west from Yorba Linda fires onto a stripped cap, with creosote below it in the flue.
How Fumes Could Get In
Sun-cracked crowns letting water in and rusting things below, or joints opened by 2008 Chino Hills shaking.
What We Check First
Heat cracks on the crown and any rust below them, then the flue itself by camera.
