What San Marino homeowners deal with
San Marino sits near San Gabriel and is served with the Pasadena area. Its housing is far older than the county's. Census figures show 70% of homes were built before 1950 and 94% before 1980, against 24% and 71% across Los Angeles County. Houses that old often still have galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, plaster walls and original hardwood, and a leak behind plaster can spread a long way before it shows. Plaster and older hardwood also dry more slowly than drywall.
Owners live in most homes here, with 17% rented and 0% in buildings of 5 or more units, so the owner usually makes every decision on drying and repair.
Rain matters more here than in much of the county. NOAA climate normals show 5 days a year with an inch of rain or more, against 4 countywide, and FEMA's National Risk Index puts yearly inland flood loss at 220 per $100,000 of building value, above the county's 164. Storm water entering a lower floor is outside water and usually needs flood coverage. Water damage repair in a house this old may call for plaster and wood floor work, and neighbors needing water removal in San Gabriel live with similar older homes.

The first hour in San Marino
Close the main shutoff before anything else. In San Marino, 70% of homes were built before 1950, against 24% across Los Angeles County, so the valve may be an original one that has not been turned in years. Turn it slowly, and if it will not budge, use the meter valve at the street. Then shut off breakers for wet rooms, working only from a dry floor. Photograph the source, the water line on plaster and floors, and each damaged item before anything is moved. Lift rugs off hardwood, which can cup as it absorbs water, and carry art, papers and electronics to a dry room. Then call, since the phone is staffed 24/7.
