Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Avalon
Half the homes in this harbor town went up before 1946, stacked into a canyon above the bay. Old cottages and condos sit close together, so a leaking flue matters to the neighbors too, and we scan each liner with that in mind. Salt is the steady enemy on Catalina, chewing through galvanized caps, chase covers and flashing in damp air. Frost hardly matters here, but offshore faults do, and the 2007 Island Fire showed how close burning brush can come to town.
What Could Feed a Fire
A rusted-through cap that lets embers and nesting debris settle on creosote in an old cottage flue.
How Fumes Could Get In
Salt-eaten flashing and damp brick that loosen joints, letting smoke drift into tightly packed hillside rooms.
What We Check First
Metal at the top comes first, cap, chase cover and flashing, then the camera goes down the liner.

We often visit Two Harbors, Avalon Canyon and Dana Point on the same day as Avalon.
