Local risks
What causes water damage in Monrovia
Original plumbing in older homes
48% of Monrovia's housing predates 1960. Pipes that old narrow with rust, joints weaken and drain lines crack, so a small drip behind plaster or under a floor can go unnoticed until stains or soft spots appear.
Leaks between units
About 52% of occupied homes in Monrovia are rented, and many are apartments or condos. A leak in one unit often reaches the units below, so landlords, associations and each tenant's insurer are involved.
Atmospheric rivers
Winter storms bring heavy rain, roof leaks and flooding.
Seasonal risks, licensing and FEMA history across the state are on the California page.
