Local risks: Lake Arrowhead and San Bernardino County

Property owners in Lake Arrowhead deal with the same regional risks found throughout California. California's property damage risks are unusually varied: wildfire and smoke damage in the wildland-urban interface, atmospheric-river storms that overwhelm roofs and drainage in winter, post-fire debris flows, and the everyday slab leaks and supply-line failures found in slab-on-grade housing. Older housing stock in coastal cities adds aging plumbing and wiring to the list. Problems tend to peak during wildfire season in late summer and fall, storm season in winter, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Plumbing connections and water heaters shaken loose by seismic movement
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Slab leaks that keep flooring and bottom plates damp for months
• Slow plumbing leaks inside the walls of older homes

First steps for Lake Arrowhead property owners

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

When and where damage happens in Lake Arrowhead

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

Storm season produces the biggest spikes in calls, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen every month of the year. Late summer and fall bring wildfire smoke and structure fire risk, while kitchen fires remain the leading cause year-round. The long wet season keeps crawlspaces, siding and window frames damp, and mold follows wherever drying lags behind the rain.
