Water Damage Restoration in Orange, CA
Orange was platted in 1871 around a traffic circle that is still there, and the square mile around the Plaza holds the largest concentration of pre-1940 houses in Orange County: Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, and Spanish cottages on raised foundations, most of them in the Old Towne historic district. Outside that square mile the city is 1950s and 1960s slab tracts on the flats, 1970s and 1980s hillside tracts in Orange Park Acres and along the Santiago Creek canyon, and the hospital and university district around Chapman and Main.
Santiago Creek runs right through town from the hills to the Santa Ana River, and before the dams upstream it flooded the lower neighborhoods regularly; the storms of January and February 1969 were the last time it did real damage. The creek is quiet now. The plumbing under a hundred-year-old bungalow is not.
This site connects Orange homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider meters every wet wall before a scope gets written.
Orange water damage from Old Towne to the canyon tracts
A 1912 bungalow near the Plaza with a soft kitchen floor is a leak detection call that starts in the crawl space. A 1960 slab ranch near Tustin Street with a pinhole in a hot line is slab leak cleanup after the plumber has fixed it. A galvanized drain in an old house that finally backed into the bathroom is sewer backup cleanup.
The university, the medical center, and the historic review
Chapman University has grown from a small college at the edge of Old Towne into the district's largest landlord and the reason so many of those bungalows are now rentals, which changes who makes the call. UCI Medical Center anchors the hospital district on the west side along the 5. Rebuild permits go through the City of Orange's building counter, and a contributing house in Old Towne gets a look from the historic preservation side for anything that shows outside.
