Learn MoreHow a visit goes in Lake Forest
El Toro neighborhoods date from the 1970s, and the foothill streets of Portola Hills came about two decades later. Metal or gas is the likely answer in either, though a few older masonry stacks exist, so the technician looks before assuming. Foothill neighborhoods here were evacuated during the Silverado and Bond fires in 2020. Away from the coast, long sunny summers open cracks in a crown, and rust starts wherever water then gets in.
When We Arrive
El Toro side or foothill side, and was any soot or ash on the roof after the 2020 fires?
What Gets Checked First
Ash or ember wear at the cap on foothill homes, or sun-cracked crown on older El Toro stacks.
Before We Leave
Photos matched to your street, and a plain answer on whether anything needs doing before you burn.
Same Trip, Next Door
Homes in Portola Hills, Laguna Hills, Irvine are often visited on the same day as Lake Forest.
