Why Water Damage Is Common in Lakewood

Lakewood is the prototype of the post-war American suburb, laid out in the early 1950s on former Bixby sugar-beet and dairy land as one of the largest planned tracts ever built at the time, and it pioneered the contract-city arrangement that still supplies many of its services from the county. The result is a very even city: block after block of single-story ranch houses on compact lots, most of them built within a few years of each other with original galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains. Streets are wide and flat, drainage runs to the same storm system everywhere, and there is little open ground to absorb a surge. Houses here also tend to have been added onto over the decades, with patios, family-room extensions, and converted garages that bury older plumbing beneath new slabs, so a leak frequently surfaces somewhere the owner never expected.

Immediate Steps to Take

  • 1Turn off the main water valve and, if safe, the electricity in affected rooms at the breaker panel.
  • 2Photograph and video the damage for your insurance records before touching anything.
  • 3Lift furniture off wet flooring and remove rugs, boxes, and valuables from the affected area.
