Frequently asked questions
Debris keeps collecting in the roof valleys. Is that just maintenance?
It becomes a water problem quickly. Wash debris loads the valleys, water backs up behind it, and it ponds at the 1959 mudsill instead of leaving the roof. The blockage is on top; the damage is at the bottom.
The garage drain ran backwards during the storm. What causes that?
The channel filled faster than the drain could empty into it. When a February cell comes off the Verdugos the Western Channel surcharges, and a garage drain tied into that system becomes an inlet instead of an outlet. Nothing on the lot has failed; the receiving end is full.
The river is dry concrete. Why is the garage wet after February rain?
The river is downstream. The Western Channel is the local pipe. Verdugo water fills that pipe faster than it can leave, and a 1959 garage drain becomes an outlet. Dry concrete at the confluence does not mean an empty channel two miles up.
