Why this call
What is going wrong in a Pomona house?
Near downtown Pomona the older houses and the blocks around them still show a leak in plaster, brick-adjacent walls, and wood. Phillips Ranch and the south side are slab houses where the same leak is under the concrete and the garage heater is the usual source. A call from the old grid that gets a ranch setup, or the reverse, spends the first hour in the wrong part of the house.
- Plaster and wood floors wet near the original downtown.
- A garage heater failure on a Phillips Ranch slab.
- A south-side ranch with a warm bath floor and a dry-looking hall.
Say downtown older house or south-side slab, including Phillips Ranch if that is the house. The finishes decide what gets opened and what gets dried in place.
The houses
What gets wet in Pomona?
Pomona still has prewar houses and brick commercial blocks near the original downtown, and a much larger field of slab houses toward Phillips Ranch and the south. A downtown-adjacent cottage wets a wood floor and plaster. A Phillips Ranch house wets a slab and a garage. The city also has apartment blocks where a riser failure is a multi-unit loss.
The water
How does water usually get into a Pomona house?
The indoor plumbing call is what gets a crew on the schedule: standing water, owner, address. Storm drains in the flat south side back up in a hard rain. Say if the water is from a pipe or from the street.
