Water Damage Restoration in Lebec, CA

Lebec sits at about 3,500 feet in Grapevine Canyon, where Interstate 5 starts its climb to Tejon Pass. The town took its name from Peter Lebeck, a trapper killed by a bear near the fort in 1837, and it grew up around the Lebec Hotel, a 100-room resort finished in 1921 that hosted Clark Gable and burned in 1971. Today it is about 1,500 people on Lebec Road and Frazier Mountain Park Road, in a mix of older ranch houses, mobile homes, and newer builds on larger lots.

Lower than Frazier Park but still cold enough to freeze a pipe, Lebec gets the wind off the pass, and the canyon funnels runoff toward the freeway in a hard rain.

This site connects Lebec homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider looks at the house and sets the scope.

Lebec water damage, and what the canyon does to it

A supply line that froze in a garage wall or under a mobile home is a frozen pipe cleanup job, and it usually means the water ran for a while before anyone noticed. A washer hose or a water heater that let go while the family was at work leaves a clean-water mess that water extraction pulls off the floor. A roof that took wind-driven rain off the pass may need roof leak water damage work inside once the roofer has stopped the leak.

Where to call in Lebec

Water service comes from the Lebec County Water District on Frazier Mountain Park Road, a small district with a few hundred connections that draws from State Water Project supply and wells in Chimney Canyon. Call the district for a leak on the street side of the meter.

Rebuild permits for this unincorporated stretch of Kern County go through the county's Building Inspection division. Just up the canyon, Fort Tejon State Historic Park preserves the Army post that stood here from 1854 to 1864, and its adobe barracks are a reminder of how long people have been keeping buildings dry in this canyon.
