Why this call
What is going wrong in a Calabasas house?
Calabasas tracts and gated streets mix slabs and raised floors, many of them two-story, with heaters in garages or closets and lots that face slopes. An upstairs supply comes through a ceiling. A garage heater never does. A house with a raised floor can put the same leak into a crawl space the slab house next door does not have. Gates and long drives only matter if the crew is told where the water actually is.
- A ceiling stain under an upstairs bath on a two-story plan.
- Garage or closet heater water that stayed on the ground floor.
- A crawl space or a warm slab, and you know which one the house has.
Say two-story ceiling, garage heater, or water under a raised floor. If the house is behind a gate, say how the crew gets to the wet room, not just the community name.
The houses
What gets wet in Calabasas?
Calabasas is hillside tracts and gated streets on the west end of the Valley, slab and raised floors both, with many two-story plans and heaters in garages or closets. Upper-floor baths leak into the ceiling below. Houses on the downslope side also take water at the foundation when a storm hits the Santa Monica Mountains.
The water
How does water usually get into a Calabasas house?
A plumbing failure with water standing inside is the crew call. Runoff from the mountain side is outside water. Say which, and say if the house is behind a gate so dispatch understands access.
