Why this call
What is going wrong in a Glendale house?
South Glendale is apartments and bungalows on a flat grid. A stack leak there is a ceiling in the unit below. North Glendale, toward the Verdugos, is hillside houses with crawl spaces, and a bath leak travels downhill under the floor instead of through a neighbor’s ceiling. Those two calls do not share equipment or even the same first question.
- A lower apartment ceiling wet from a stack in south Glendale.
- A crawl space under a north-side house that is holding water.
- A bungalow floor cupping on the flat grid, with no unit above it.
Say flat grid or hillside, apartment or house, and whether the water is coming through a ceiling or up from under the floor. Own the property you are calling about.
The houses
What gets wet in Glendale?
South Glendale is a flat grid of apartments, bungalows, and small lots. North Glendale and the streets toward the Verdugos are hillside houses with crawl spaces and decks. A south-side apartment riser puts water through several ceilings. A north-side house can hide water under the floor until the oak is already cupping.
The water
How does water usually get into a Glendale house?
The Verdugo washes move stormwater. Indoor standing water from plumbing is the crew call. Say apartment or house, which floor, and that you own it. A renter should be calling the owner.
