Downtown Glendale & Catlin Court Water Damage Help

Catlin Court is a small historic district of early 1900s bungalows, many converted to shops and offices. The surrounding downtown neighborhoods include homes from the 1920s through the 1950s, often with plaster walls, wood floors, older roofs and original plumbing in at least part of the house.

Older homes like these can have galvanized steel supply pipes, cast iron drains and clay sewer lines under mature trees. Many have been partly updated, so new and old systems sit side by side.

Plaster walls and original wood floors in older homes can often be dried in place where newer materials would be cut out, but they dry slowly and need steady readings. Ask the provider how they handle older materials before anything is removed.

In downtown Glendale the City meter is usually near the street or alley. The City handles the meter and its line; the owner handles everything toward the house, including original supply lines and the sewer lateral.

Downtown Glendale has some of the city's oldest trees and sewer lines. Roots find their way into clay and cast iron joints, and the first sign is often slow drains in several fixtures or water rising in the tub when someone flushes. A camera inspection shows where roots enter and whether clearing, lining or replacement makes sense.

Older homes may have flat or low-slope roofs, older shingles or tile with aging underlayment. A roofer's check before monsoon season, clearing gutters and scuppers and looking at flashing, prevents most storm leaks.

In older homes, water heaters often sit in small closets or utility rooms inside the house rather than the garage. When one fails, water reaches hallways and bedrooms quickly. Check the age, add a drain pan and leak alarm and plan replacement.

Older valves can stick after years of disuse. Find the main valve and the water heater's cold valve, test them gently and ask a plumber to replace any that do not close fully.

Some older homes downtown have plaster walls and original hardwood under carpet. Plaster can often be dried in place where drywall would be cut out, and hardwood can sometimes be saved with drying mats that pull water up through the boards. Tell the provider about these materials so they plan the right approach.

Downtown and Catlin Court homes have history worth protecting. Watch older pipes, sewer lines and roofs, keep shut-offs working and start drying the same day water appears.
