Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Riverside
Heritage Square keeps Victorian houses, and Craftsman and period revival homes fill the Wood Streets and the Mount Rubidoux Manor area. A little over half of homes predate 1980. In these old neighborhoods, a chimney can be original, and that changes how slowly we move and what we recommend. Winter nights can reach frost here, a real test for crowns that coastal homes never face, and most rain falls November to March. Dry Santa Ana gusts strip caps, shaking in 2008 came through strongly from Chino Hills, and Rule 445 no-burn days apply.
What Could Feed a Fire
Frost-cracked crowns and dry gusts leaving an old flue exposed, with creosote and debris lying in it.
How Fumes Could Get In
Tile moved in 2008 in a Wood Streets chimney, with old mortar giving exhaust an easy way into the home.
What We Check First
Frost damage on the crown, then the old flue by camera for damage from the 2008 quake.

We often visit Corona, Mead Valley and Rubidoux on the same day as Riverside.
