Why this call
What is going wrong in a Lakewood house?
Lakewood repeated the postwar ranch until the heater, the garage, and the short wet wall are the whole story. A failed heater fills the garage and the room on the other side of that wall. A shower valve on the wet wall soaks the bath and the bedroom beside it. The plans match, so the call is not which model of house. The call is which of those two parts let go, because the drying starts in different rooms.
- Heater water across the garage heading into the house.
- Bath and bedroom wet from the short wet wall, garage still dry.
- Pad soaked under a ranch carpet that was only walked on.
Say heater or wet-wall bath. On this plan those are the two schedules. If both the garage and the bath are wet, say that, because the hose and the valve are then two sources.
The houses
What gets wet in Lakewood?
Lakewood is the postwar slab ranch at city scale: one story, garage in front, heater in the garage, bath on a short wet wall. The plans repeat. A failed heater hose floods the garage and the family room behind it in a known path. There is very little prewar wood-floor stock.
The water
How does water usually get into a Lakewood house?
The job is indoor water from that plumbing, owner on the phone. Lakewood is flat. Street water after a storm should be called street water. If the pad is wet from a heater, say so.
