Water Damage Restoration in Maricopa, CA
Maricopa calls itself the mother city of the Midway-Sunset field. The Lakeview Gusher blew in just outside town on March 14, 1910, spraying nine million barrels of oil across the desert over the next year and a half, and the boom that followed gave the town a fire department in 1910, a hospital in 1911, and a city charter on July 25, 1911. It sits at about 880 feet at the foot of the Temblor Range where Highways 33 and 166 meet, the smallest incorporated city in Kern County.
The homes are old for the valley, with oil-camp bungalows and 1950s ranch houses on slabs, and the plumbing behind the walls is often as old as the walls.
Water Damage Frazier Park connects homeowners in Maricopa with an independent local water damage provider by phone. You describe the problem, and the provider who calls back decides what to look at first.
Maricopa water damage, old town on a slab
A galvanized line that let go in a wall is a burst pipe water damage cleanup once the valve is closed, and the water usually reaches two rooms before anyone finds it. A warm floor or a bill that jumped is a leak detection call before anyone breaks the slab. Once the water is out, structural drying is what gets the walls back down.
Where to call in Maricopa
Rebuilds that replace drywall, plumbing, or electrical go through the City of Maricopa, whose city hall is on California Street. Water service comes from the West Kern Water District out of Taft, which can shut off at the meter if the house valve will not turn.
