The crew documents the water category, moisture readings, and photos so the homeowner can submit an accurate claim.
In Del Cerro, the neighborhood's canyon terrain and 1960s-era plumbing create a particular risk from toilet overflows. Water from a backup can seep through aging pipe joints or run down the steep lots, potentially damaging subfloors and the living spaces below in these hillside homes. Del Cerro's hillside homes from the 1960s have aging plumbing prone to leaks. Furthermore, winter atmospheric-river storms can send heavy runoff toward foundations, increasing pressure on drainage systems and the potential for backups.
