Water damage in Duarte
Duarte is served with the Pasadena area, and its housing is old even by county standards. Census figures show 76% of homes were built before 1980, against 71% across Los Angeles County, and 17% before 1950. Owners occupy most homes, with 37% rented against 54% countywide. Older houses here can still have original water heaters, galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains, each a common source of slow leaks.
The weather is wetter than the county average. NOAA climate normals show 7 days a year with an inch of rain or more, against 4 for the county. Frost is rare, at 1 night a year at or below 32 degrees. FEMA's National Risk Index puts yearly inland flood loss at $103 per $100,000 of building value, below the county's 164.
Indoor leaks are the likelier call. Storm runoff that does get in is Category 3 and needs more removal than a pipe leak. In the 17% of homes in buildings with 5 or more units, a leak can also reach the unit next door. Calls for water removal in Monrovia reach the same 24/7 line.
