Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Aliso Viejo
Homes before 1980 are very rare here, half date from about 1995 or later, and most are attached. A condo or townhome chimney is usually a metal flue in a chase, often shared by an association, and that cover and cap are what the roof photos are for. Marine air from the Laguna side and mild temperatures mean slow wear, though wet winters still expose cracked crowns and failed flashing. The San Joaquin Hills thrust is one of the faults close by.
The Houses
On our Aliso Viejo visits: attached condos and townhomes, newer detached homes, very few before 1980.
On the Roof
Chase cover and seams, cap and rust from marine air, shared flue tops, and flashing before winter rain.
Which Metal
Marine air reaches here from the Laguna side, so choose stainless over galvanized for any chase cover being replaced.
