Why this call
What is going wrong in a South Gate house?
South Gate mixes older cottages nearer the original town with slab houses on a flat industrial-edge grid. Cottages mark a leak in the floor you can see. Slabs take a garage heater or a short wet wall and hold the water under the carpet. The industrial blocks around the houses are not the call. A wet shop floor does not get a house crew.
- A cottage floor stained near the original town.
- Garage heater water in a slab house.
- A short wet wall with the next room wet and the shop next door irrelevant.
Say cottage or slab house, and that the wet building is the house. Heater versus wet wall still changes where the crew starts, even on these small plans.
The houses
What gets wet in South Gate?
South Gate is small houses on a flat industrial-edge grid, many of them slabs, some older cottages nearer the original town. Garage heaters and short wet walls are the pattern. A hose failure wets the garage and the bedroom behind it.
The water
How does water usually get into a South Gate house?
The Los Angeles River forms the western edge. Indoor plumbing water is the crew call. Water from the river in a flood is not. Say which is in the house and that you own it.
