Learn MoreWhat we tell Huntington Beach owners
Most homes here date from the 1960s and 1970s, so they are entering the age when a chimney needs a real look, though a few downtown cottages are far older. Near the water, the answer is often metal parts. We tell you plainly. Long Beach did damage here in 1933, and La Habra was felt in 2014. Direct ocean frontage brings gray May and June skies and cool summers, while occasional Santa Anas dry things out and raise gusts.
What We Look at First
Metal parts in ocean air, then mortar and crown on a 1970s stack.
What Cannot Wait
A rusted-out cover by the water, a flue with an open seam, a leaking crown on an aged stack.
What Can Wait
Salt dulling on metal, sun-faded trim on a condo chase, a chipped downtown cottage hearth.
