Learn MoreReading the Top of an Oxnard Chimney
A sugar factory in 1898 got this city going, though most of today's housing came much later. Half the homes went up after 1977, so stucco tracts and chases are common, and any earlier stack is likely postwar brick. Santa Anas can blow hard across this open plain, and soft ground here tends to amplify shaking. Burn rules come from Ventura County's air district, not South Coast, but crowns and flashing still face winter rain.
The Crown
Rain drives sideways on windy days across the plain, so the crown needs an overhang on every side to protect the brick.
Joints and Flashing
Soft ground shaking can crack joints low on the stack, too, so we check the whole height and not just the top.
Above the Roofline
Nothing shelters a cap out here, and strong fastening on sound material makes the difference between staying on and blowing off.
