Local housing stock
Of roughly 53,274 housing units, about 43,355 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1968. Much of the stock is pre-war and mid-century, on and below a bluff that separates the city from the beach. Older construction here rarely has a functioning drainage plane behind the stucco, and on a bluff the water that reaches a wall may have traveled through the ground from well above it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Santa Monica averages 12.17 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at SANTA MONICA PIER 0.2 miles away, with February the wettest month at 3.1 inches. February delivers the season in a few systems, and the bluff is what makes the difference. Water soaking into the terrace above moves down through the deposits and emerges at the face, so properties below the bluff can take groundwater during a storm that produced very little surface runoff anywhere near them.
Common water damage problems in Santa Monica
- Groundwater emerging from the bluff face during and after storms, well away from where it fell
- Older stucco assemblies with no drainage plane, so wall water tracks down inside to the base
- Coastal humidity keeping wall assemblies damp long after the visible water is gone
- Storm drains discharging to the bay that lose capacity when a system coincides with high surf
