Los Angeles homes and water damage
Many older homes are on raised foundations with crawlspaces, and hillside homes face mudslide and drainage risks during heavy rain. Many LA bungalows and Spanish-style homes from the 1920s–40s have raised foundations with crawlspaces where plumbing runs exposed. Apartment buildings and condos across the city, including many soft-story buildings retrofitted for earthquakes, see leaks travel between units.
Atmospheric rivers
Winter storms bring days of heavy rain, flooding streets and causing mudslides on hillsides and burn scars.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes can break pipes and topple unstrapped water heaters.
Aging plumbing in older homes
Many LA homes built from the 1920s through the 1960s have galvanized or cast-iron plumbing that corrodes and leaks.
Hillside drainage
Hillside homes in neighborhoods like Silver Lake and Echo Park deal with runoff and mudslide risk during heavy rain.
Drought and soil movement
Long droughts followed by heavy rain move soil and stress foundations and pipes.
