Water Damage Restoration in Anaheim, CA

Anaheim started in 1857 as a grape colony on a grid beside the Santa Ana River and stayed a grove town until the 1950s, when it quadrupled in land area in two years and passed 100,000 people by 1960. The city that came out of that decade is mostly single-story ranch houses on concrete slabs, laid across the old orchards from the Buena Park line to the river, with the two-story hillside homes of Anaheim Hills added from 1972 on. Fifty square miles, three different kinds of house, and one water supply hard enough to pit copper.

Water finds these houses from below, through a pinhole in a slab line, and from the street, when a winter storm outruns the gutters. It almost never finds them from freezing, because it does not freeze here.

This site connects Anaheim homeowners by phone with an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the house and writes the scope from the readings, not from the doorway.

Anaheim water damage on a slab, in a hillside home, or in the Colony

A warm patch on the tile and a water bill that jumped is a leak detection call, and the cleanup afterward is a slab leak cleanup. Street water that came in under the garage door during a January storm is winter storm flood cleanup. Gray water up the shower drain from a sixty-year-old cast-iron lateral is sewer backup cleanup, and the crew comes dressed for it.

The river that used to flood the town and the records that prove it

The Anaheim Heritage Center at the downtown library holds the photographs from March 1938, when the Santa Ana River came out of its banks and put much of the Colony under water. That flood is why the Army Corps built Prado Dam upstream, finished in May 1941, and why the river has stayed in its channel through every storm since. Rebuild permits for plumbing, drywall, or wiring go through the City of Anaheim Building Division.
