Why Water Damage Is Common in Northridge

Northridge occupies the northern San Fernando Valley, a former citrus-growing district that was renamed for its position north of the valley floor and then filled in with ranch-style tracts during the suburban boom of the 1950s and 1960s. The neighborhood is famous for the 1994 earthquake, whose ground movement ruptured water mains and snapped service lines across the area, and a good deal of the housing stock still carries patched or partially replaced plumbing from that period. The ground here is largely hardpan and compacted alluvium that sheds water rather than absorbing it, and the summer heat is hard on exterior pipe runs and irrigation. Add the hillside streets along the northern edge, where runoff crosses lower lots, and it is easy for water to end up somewhere it was never meant to reach.

Immediate Steps to Take

  • 1Shut off water at the main valve or well first — protect your water system from contamination.
  • 2Turn off power to any rooms with standing water.
  • 3Photograph damage for insurance and call for professional help immediately.
