Why this call
What is going wrong in a Signal Hill house?
Houses stepped up Signal Hill take water at the uphill foundation and also from pipes that then run downhill inside the walls. Flat blocks at the base behave like any small slab: a heater or a bath stays near the garage. A hill house can be wet in the low room while the fixture is at the high side of the lot. Calling both a garage flood misses the path through the slope.
- Water at the uphill foundation of a house on the slope.
- A low room wet when the bath is on the high side.
- A flat block at the base with an ordinary garage-heater flood.
Say on the hill or on the flat, and whether the water entered from the slope or from a pipe. The low room is not always the room that failed.
The houses
What gets wet in Signal Hill?
Signal Hill is a small city on and around the hill, with houses stepped up the slope and a few flat blocks at the base. Hill houses take water at the uphill foundation. The lower blocks are ordinary slabs and small lots.
The water
How does water usually get into a Signal Hill house?
Standing water from a pipe inside the house is the scheduled job. Runoff down the hill in a storm is outside water. The city is small. The street name is enough.
