Why this call
What is going wrong in a La Verne house?
Old La Verne, near the university and the original town, is smaller earlier houses where a leak still shows up in wood and plaster. The rest of the city is slab ranches and later tracts on the alluvial ground, where the heater is in the garage and the bath leak stays under the concrete. A call that only says La Verne does not tell the crew which of those houses they are walking into.
- Plaster stains in a smaller house near the old town.
- A garage heater failure in a later ranch tract.
- A warm bath floor with the hallway still looking dry.
Say old town or tract ranch, and whether the water is in a wood floor, a garage, or under a slab. That sentence is what gets the right equipment on the schedule.

The water
How does water usually get into a La Verne house?
