Life-safety versus a booked chimney inspection inspection in Ocean Ridge
Oceanfront Ocean Ridge lots near the Boynton Inlet (ZIP 33435) add salt and wind to the usual life-safety rules. If there is fire, smoke entering the home, a carbon-monoxide alarm, or a gas odor, leave the house immediately. Do not use switches, electronics, or flames. Call 911 and the gas utility from outside. Contact a contractor only after responders or the utility clear the property. A storm-damaged top is still not a reason to climb a wet roof.
Storm debris on a ZIP 33435 stack is a reason to inspect, not a reason to light a fire the same night. If a Ocean Ridge fireplace near the Ocean Avenue area will not draft, say so on the first call so the visit is not written as the wrong trade.
