Sunnyvale homes and water damage
Many homes are 1950s–1960s Eichler and tract houses with slab radiant heating. Many Sunnyvale homes are 1950s–1960s Eichlers with flat or low-slope roofs, walls of glass and radiant heating pipes embedded in the slab. When a radiant pipe leaks, water spreads under the floor and can be hard to find. Other tract homes have original copper plumbing and garage water heaters.

Older plumbing

Hidden leaks after small quakes
Even small earthquakes can loosen water heater connections, crack old drain joints and shift supply lines inside walls, causing slow leaks that only show up weeks later as stains or odors.
First rain of the season
After months without rain, roofs, gutters and window seals dry out and crack, and the first big storm of the season is when most ceiling and wall leaks are found.

Sunnyvale questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Sunnyvale?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Sunnyvale Building Safety division.
Is a slab leak covered by insurance in Sunnyvale?
Many policies cover the water damage and access costs from a sudden slab leak, but not the pipe repair itself. Report it quickly and keep photos and the plumber's findings.
