Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Moorpark
Peach Hill, Mountain Meadows and Campus Park are mostly two-story stucco, and homes from before 1980 are a small minority, about a fifth. Most homes likely have a metal flue from a factory-built unit, where the weak spot is the chase cover up top rather than any mortar. Salt hardly reaches this far, so sun and heat are the bigger wear on caps. The 1994 quake shook the town hard, and winter rain will find any flue section or flashing that moved.
The Houses
On our Moorpark visits: Peach Hill, Mountain Meadows and Campus Park tracts, two-story stucco homes, factory-built metal fireplaces.
On the Roof
Chase cover and seams, heat-worn cap, flashing on stucco walls, and any flue shift from 1994.
Which Metal
Heat and sun set the pace in Moorpark, so choose stainless for a chase cover that will not rust and stain the stucco.
