About Granada Hills Water Damage Restoration

Built around how water behaves in Granada Hills

Granada Hills grew fast after the war. The population was about 5,000 in 1950 and ten times that by 1960, and about six in ten homes standing today went up between 1950 and 1969, most of them ranch houses poured on concrete slabs.

That housing sets the list of water problems. Copper supply pipe under the slab wears thin and pinholes out of sight, older homes still carry galvanized steel supply pipe, and clay or cast iron sewer laterals crack where mature tree roots reach them. Just over 100 Eichler homes in Balboa Highlands have hydronic radiant heat pipe cast into the slab itself.

The weather adds the rest. Summers run into the 90s, so attic air handlers and their condensate drains work for months, and most of the roughly 18 inches of yearly rain lands from January to March, often in a few big storms off the Santa Susana foothills. The walkthrough checks the slab, the attic and the ceiling below, not just the room where water showed up.

Water and sewage only

The work covers water extraction, slab leaks, burst pipes, sewage backups, storm runoff, roof and ceiling leaks, water heater, appliance and AC condensate leaks, structural drying and commercial losses.
