Learn MoreReading the Top of a Port Hueneme Chimney
Detached houses are a minority here, about one unit in three, with beachfront condo complexes taking much of the shore. If a house here has a chimney, it is likely a postwar brick stack, now decades old and sitting close to salt. Fog and mild temperatures keep this close-to-ocean air constantly damp, which steadily wears away metal and mortar. The soft plain underfoot also amplifies regional earthquakes, so old brick on it deserves a look.
The Crown
Ocean fog keeps crowns wet for long spells, so a thin cracked cap gets replaced with a dense sloped slab.
Joints and Flashing
Postwar mortar holds up well until damp reaches inside, and we repoint the sections that have started to crumble.
Above the Roofline
Steel fails fast this near the ocean, so we replace what has rusted with metal fit for constant salt.
