Learn MoreWhat we tell Oxnard owners
Near Oxnard Shores or Channel Islands Harbor, the question is corrosion. Inland, on the tracts, it is more often age and type. A house a few miles from the water can be a different job entirely, and we say so. Soft plain soil can shake hard, and Oak Ridge is one of the regional fault systems. Salt and fog corrode steel caps quickly near the water, and stainless or copper parts last better. The city has no wildfire history to speak of.
What We Look at First
Steel cap and flashing near the harbor, or fireplace type and age farther inland.
What Cannot Wait
A rusted-out cap in fog and salt, flashing that leaks when it rains, a flue broken by shaking.
What Can Wait
Orange staining on still-sound metal, tired stucco, an old inland gas log kit.
