Water Damage in Pasadena

Pasadena has its own utility, Pasadena Water and Power, and a large stock of historic homes, from Craftsman bungalows in neighborhoods like Bungalow Heaven to Spanish Revival and mid-century houses near the Arroyo Seco.

Many of these homes sit on raised foundations with crawlspaces and have original wood floors, plaster walls and built-in cabinetry. They can usually be dried and saved, but they need patience and careful monitoring rather than quick demolition.

Good to Know in Pasadena

  • Water Service

    Pasadena Water and Power handles the street lines and meters.

  • Permits

    Repairs that need a permit go through the City of Pasadena’s Planning & Community Development Department. Historic districts can add design review for exterior work.

  • Original Wood Floors

    Original fir and oak floors often survive water if they are dried slowly and measured daily.

  • Crawlspaces

    After a leak, check the crawlspace. Wet soil and insulation under the house are a common place for mold to start.

Common Questions in Pasadena

Can you dry a historic home without damaging original details?

In most cases, yes. We favor drying in place over removal and only take out materials that can’t be saved.

Who do I call for a water main problem in Pasadena?

Pasadena Water and Power for the street and meter. For anything inside, shut off your main and call us.

My Craftsman has a musty smell under the house. Is that mold?

It may be moisture or mold in the crawlspace. We inspect it, find the source and tell you what it needs.
