Northridge, CA homes and water
Northridge's housing is mostly postwar. Census figures show 68% of homes were built before 1980 but only 3% before 1950, against 24% for Los Angeles County. Houses of that age often have copper or galvanized lines under the slab, water heaters in garages and closets, and supply lines that have been replaced only in part. A slab leak tends to show up as a warm spot on the floor, damp carpet or a rising water bill before anyone sees water.
About 45% of homes are in buildings with 5 or more units and 53% are rented, so water from one unit can reach the ceiling below and involve a landlord as well as a neighbor. FEMA's National Risk Index puts the yearly inland flood loss at $153 per $100,000 of building value, though NOAA climate normals show only 4 days a year with an inch of rain or more. Northridge is part of the Burbank area for service calls. When carpet over a slab stays damp, wet carpet drying has to include the pad and the concrete beneath it.
