Homes in Los Angeles and how they leak
Older neighborhoods are full of 1920s to 1950s bungalows on raised foundations with crawl spaces and original galvanized pipe. The San Fernando Valley and post-war suburbs are slab-on-grade tract homes with copper lines under the concrete. Apartments make up a large share of housing, many with flat roofs and parking tucked underneath.
Local issues that cause water damage
Atmospheric river storms
The February 2024 storm dropped record rain on the city, flooding streets and garages and leaking through flat roofs. See storm and roof leak damage.
Hillside mud and debris
Homes in the canyons and below burn scars take mud and runoff when the ground is saturated.
Slab leaks and old pipe
Pinhole leaks in copper under slabs and corroded galvanized lines are year-round causes.

Questions from Los Angeles homeowners
My apartment's flat roof leaks every time it rains. Who fixes it?
The owner is responsible for the roof. Report it in writing, protect your belongings, and check your renters policy for contents coverage.
Is mud that flowed into my house covered by insurance?
Mudflow is treated as flood and needs a flood policy. If a recent wildfire caused it, ask your insurer, since California has directed coverage in some of those cases.
