Chimney Service and Leak Repair in Oxnard, CA
Salt air is the main thing working on chimneys in Oxnard, especially in the neighborhoods closest to the harbor and the beaches. It corrodes galvanized caps, rusts flashing fasteners and eats through steel chase covers much faster than it does inland. When we find water in a firebox here, a corroded cap or a rusted-out chase cover is usually part of the story. Rainfall on the coast is modest, but the marine layer brings damp air on many mornings through much of the year. Masonry that never fully dries holds salts near the surface, which is how efflorescence and spalling get started. Stainless steel caps and covers make more sense here than almost anywhere else we work.
