Water Damage Restoration in Cypress, CA

Cypress incorporated in 1956 as Dairy City, a town of dairy farmers who wanted to keep the tracts out, and lost that fight within ten years. By the early 1970s the dairies were gone and the city was seven square miles of ranch houses on slabs along Valley View, Walker, and Ball Road, a little newer than Anaheim's and a little bigger, with the race track and the college filling the land along Katella. The ground is dead flat and sits on old marsh and dairy pasture, which is to say the water table is not far down.

Carbon Creek leaves Anaheim and crosses Cypress on its way to Coyote Creek, and the Bolsa Chica Channel drains the south side. When a stalled winter storm fills both, the flat streets between them hold water, and a slab house has almost no curb to keep it out.

This site connects Cypress homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider meters the slab and the walls before anything is decided.

Cypress water damage in a 1968 slab ranch on old dairy ground

A pinhole in a hot line under the family room that warmed the tile is a leak detection call and a slab leak cleanup after. A water heater in the garage that let go on hard water and soaked the laundry wall is water heater leak cleanup. A damp slab in a low-lying tract after a wet February, with the pipes ruled out, is structural drying and a conversation about where the water is coming from.

The college on the old dairy land and the city's own counter

Cypress College opened in 1966 on Valley View Street on land that had been dairy pasture a few years before, which is true of nearly every lot in the city. Rebuild permits for plumbing, drywall, or electrical go through the City of Cypress building counter, not Anaheim's, and the two keep separate records.

Call (657) 239-3689 and describe the wet spot and where it sits in the house. An independent local water damage provider serving Cypress picks it up from there.
