Between fog and salt, steel caps and flashing do not last here, which makes stainless or copper the sensible choice near Mandalay Beach. The soft soil of this plain can also make a regional quake feel stronger.
The Houses
On Oxnard roofs we meet postwar and later stucco tract housing, plus homes near Channel Islands Harbor and Mandalay Beach. Each chimney gets its cap, crown and flue looked at on the first visit.
Before You Call
Hear something in an Oxnard chimney? Keep the damper shut, keep pets away from the hearth and do not light a fire. Then tell us what the noise sounds like and when it happens.
