Why this call
What is going wrong in a Hermosa Beach house?
Hermosa’s beach grid is tight, and many lots are tall rebuilt houses with the equipment in a garage or a half-level, not a sprawling ranch. A supply break fills that half-level and the story above it through the ceiling, or it never reaches the street at all. There is no side yard to divert a hose. The water is in the stack of floors you live in.
- A half-level or garage mechanical room already under water.
- The story above that room staining through the ceiling.
- A tall lot with no ranch garage and nowhere else for the water to go.
Say which level the equipment is on and which level is wet. On a Hermosa rebuild those are often different floors. A half-level flood is not a yard leak.
The houses
What gets wet in Hermosa Beach?
Hermosa is a tight beach grid. Many lots hold tall, rebuilt houses with the mechanical equipment in a garage or a half-level, not a sprawling ranch. A supply break on an upper floor comes down the stair and stands on the lowest level. Older cottages that remain have wood floors that stain immediately.
The water
How does water usually get into a Hermosa Beach house?
Indoor water from plumbing is the scheduled job. Storm surf and wind-driven rain at the west end are outside water. Say how far from the sand the house is and that you own it.
