Water Damage Restoration in Fullerton, CA

Fullerton was laid out in 1887 along the Santa Fe tracks and grew on oranges and oil, and its housing shows the layers. Around the downtown and in the Golden Hill and Raymond Hills neighborhoods are Craftsman and Spanish bungalows from the 1910s through the 1930s on raised foundations with crawl spaces. North and west of there, the 1950s and 1960s slab tracts fill the flats toward the Buena Park and Anaheim lines. Up on the ridges along Bastanchury and in Sunny Hills are larger lots and 1960s and 1970s custom homes, with the hills of Coyote Hills behind them.

Brea Creek and Fullerton Creek cross the city in channels on their way to Coyote Creek, and after the 1938 flood the Army Corps built dams on both just north of town. The dams hold the creeks. They do not hold the water that falls on a flat street in a February storm.

This site connects Fullerton homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. No scope gets written until the provider has metered the walls.

Fullerton water damage in a bungalow, a slab tract, or a hillside custom

A 1925 bungalow with a soft floor and a damp crawl space is a leak detection call that starts under the house. A 1962 slab ranch off Euclid with a warm hallway tile is slab leak cleanup once the plumber has found the pinhole. A hillside home in Sunny Hills whose slope drain backed up in the January 2023 storms is winter storm flood cleanup along the uphill wall.

The campus, the arboretum, and the north-end water table

Cal State Fullerton is the largest employer in the city and sits on the former Brea Creek floodplain, and the Fullerton Arboretum at the north end of campus, 26 acres opened in 1979, is watered partly by that same shallow groundwater. Rebuild permits for plumbing, drywall, and electrical go through the City of Fullerton's building counter, not Anaheim's.
