Why this call
What is going wrong in a Temple City house?
Temple City heaters sit at the back of single-car garages, and the houses are small ranches and bungalows on a flat grid. A burst hose fills the garage, then the kitchen or the bedroom that shares that wall, and there is not a second floor to slow it down. On a bungalow the same hose marks a wood floor. On a ranch it disappears into the slab edge and shows up as a warm strip along the baseboard.
- A single-car garage with the heater standing in water.
- The room that shares the garage wall already wet.
- A warm baseboard on a ranch where the bungalow next door would have cupped a wood floor.
Say garage hose or warm slab edge, and whether the house is a bungalow or a ranch. The water is usually still close to the garage. Say if it has reached the hall.
The houses
What gets wet in Temple City?
Temple City is a grid of small ranch houses and bungalows on flat lots, with single-car garages and water heaters at the back of the garage. A burst hose wets the garage slab and the family room behind it. The houses are close, and water does not have far to travel to a neighbor’s wall.
The water
How does water usually get into a Temple City house?
The job is indoor standing water from plumbing. Temple City’s drainage is street drains, not a canyon. If you own the house and the water is on the floor, that is the call.
