Why Oxnard homes need these repairs

Oxnard is a coastal farming and port city with post-war neighborhoods near downtown and newer tracts toward the beach. The city blends imported State Water Project water with regional and local groundwater, so mineral content varies, and the salt air and high water table near the coast add corrosion and drainage issues.
