Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Glendora
Ranch tracts spread across the valley floor here, and most homes, about 8 in 10, are older than 1980. Many of those stacks have had gas logs for years, so nobody is watching the crown unless someone climbs up and photographs it. Mountains above Glendora bring heavier storms, which soak crowns and joints, and the foothill edge is mapped Very High Fire Hazard. Along the mountain base, the Sierra Madre Fault adds the chance of shaking.
The Houses
On our Glendora visits: ranch tracts on the valley floor, postwar brick or block stacks, gas log conversions, foothill-edge homes.
On the Roof
Near the foothills, the ember screen; on the valley floor, crown cracks and joints, with flashing and cap checked at both.
Which Metal
Homes on the mapped fire edge should have fine mesh on stainless; below that, a standard stainless cap is generally enough.
