What causes water damage around Los Angeles

In California, property owners deal with mild but wet seasons, with some areas prone to heavy storms and runoff. The causes we hear about most are landslide and runoff flooding near hills and creeks, atmospheric river storms and long stretches of heavy rain and roof and window leaks in older housing. The wet season usually brings the most leaks and flooding from late fall through early spring.

When water is standing, water extraction and flood cleanup comes first. Failed tanks, hoses and supply lines cause many indoor losses, covered under water heater and appliance leak cleanup.
