What drying runs into in Los Angeles
Serving Los Angeles and the surrounding area, including Palms, Westside Village, Downtown Culver City, California Country Club Estates, Castle Heights, Westdale, Hayden Tract, Reynier Village.
Local housing stock
The typical Los Angeles house dates to 1965, with over four fifths of the stock (80.8 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1960s work. Stucco-over-frame houses on slabs in the flats and on raised foundations with crawl spaces on the hillsides, with plaster in the older stock and drywall after, are the typical building, so a loss is a slab leak dried through the concrete in one house and a crawl-space job dried from below in the next.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 14.05 inches, 3.46 of them in February, against a warm season that peaks at 71.3 degrees in August; both figures recorded at CULVER CITY, 1 miles away. The air is mild and mostly dry, with February the wettest month and the only season when hillside crawl spaces take water, so a sealed room here reaches the standard quickly and the concrete slab is the only part of a job that runs long.
How water losses tend to end in Los Angeles
- Slab plumbing leaks under tile or hardwood found late, so the floor comes up and the slab is dried before the line is rerouted
- Hillside crawl spaces taking February runoff, so the insulation comes out and the subfloor is dried from below
- Plaster walls in mid-century houses holding water after a leak, so the wall is dried in place through drilled openings rather than cut
