Learn MoreWhat we look after in Huntington Beach
Oil discoveries from 1920 fueled Huntington Beach's boom, but most homes came later: masonry in 1960s tracts, then metal as builders moved on in later decades. Salt attacks each kind differently. We name yours, say what the air has done, and leave you a note. This close to the water, steel caps, chase covers and fasteners corrode quickly, and damp keeps masonry wet longer. The city took damage in 1933 and felt 2014 too, so scope any old flue and inspect any metal one.
The Houses
Around Huntington Beach the stock runs to masonry tract homes of the 1960s, later factory-built units, newer houses in Seacliff and Holly-Seacliff, condos.
Before the First Fire
Salt can eat a chase cover from the edges in, so have that looked at before water or sparks find a way through.
Care of the Room
Sand tracks in, soot does not track out, since floors stay covered and the vacuum runs at the opening throughout.
Close By
Huntington Beach stops sometimes fall alongside Seal Beach, Bolsa Chica, Fountain Valley.
