Why this call
What is going wrong in a Cerritos house?
Cerritos tracts are larger slabs than the Lakewood ranch, and the later neighborhoods add two-story plans. A garage heater stays on the ground floor. An upper-floor supply comes through a ceiling the one-story houses do not have. Treating every Cerritos loss as a garage flood leaves a wet joist bay upstairs. Treating every loss as a ceiling opens a ranch that never had a second floor.
- Garage heater water on a one-story tract.
- A downstairs ceiling wet under an upstairs bath.
- A two-story laundry that drained into a wall, not into the garage.
Say one story or two, and heater or upstairs supply. The ceiling only exists on the later plans. Do not describe a ceiling you do not have. Name the floor under the stain.
The houses
What gets wet in Cerritos?
Cerritos is planned tracts of slab houses, many of them larger than the Lakewood ranch, with garage heaters and two-story plans in the later neighborhoods. An upper-floor bath leak comes through the ceiling. A garage heater soaks the slab and the room behind the garage.
The water
How does water usually get into a Cerritos house?
The crew call is standing water from the house plumbing, owner ready with the address. Cerritos is not a floodplain city in the way a river town is. Street water should still be named if that is what came in.
