Learn MoreWhat we watch for in San Marino
About 7 in 10 homes here predate 1950, nearly all detached, behind Tudor and Spanish Colonial fronts and some by Wallace Neff. Unreinforced brick of this age is what quakes break. We share what the camera shows and what can wait, so originals stay where they can. Long dry heat followed by cool nights pushes crowns and mortar through expansion and contraction every year. The 1987 Whittier Narrows quake rattled these streets hard, and a dry Santa Ana gust can work an old cap loose.
What Could Feed a Fire
Heat escaping through unreinforced old brick to framing, in a large Revival home with more than one flue to consider.
How Fumes Could Get In
Cracks from 1987 in old tile, often behind a handsome interior surround that hides any sign of leakage.
What We Check First
Unreinforced brick and old tile by camera, with an eye on 1987 before any talk of repairs.
Nearby on the Same Run
We often visit Temple City, Arcadia and San Gabriel on the same day as San Marino.
