When water is spreading in Anaheim

Emergency dispatch is available around the clock for Anaheim. The 24/7 line takes calls at night, on weekends and on holidays, and the first conversation is about stopping the source and keeping people clear of wet electrical areas.

From there, emergency water removal pulls out standing water and water damage cleanup clears wet debris and treats the area.

Utilities in Anaheim are different

Anaheim Public Utilities is the only municipal water and electric utility in Orange County. For many addresses that means one city office handles both water and electricity, which is useful when a leak affects electrical safety.

The city's La Palma Water Complex, dedicated in 2018 with a four-million-gallon reservoir, a well and a pump station, serves Central and West Anaheim. Check your bill to confirm your provider before calling about a meter leak.

What to do before we arrive in Anaheim: if water is still spreading

Neighborhoods and properties we see in Anaheim

Anaheim ranges from the historic Anaheim Colony district downtown to apartments and homes near the Platinum Triangle and the Honda Center. Older buildings often bring older plumbing, which is worth knowing when a supply line fails.

Multi-unit buildings add a layer of coordination, because water from one unit can damage another. Tell the property manager right away and photograph both units. For a drying plan, see water mitigation, and for rebuilding, water damage repair.

Older homes near the Anaheim Colony

Anaheim was founded in 1857 by German families and incorporated in 1876, so it contains some of the oldest housing in this part of Orange County. Older buildings may have original galvanized or cast iron pipes, plaster walls and layered flooring.

When water gets into an older wall, the first step is finding what the wall is made of. Ask before disturbing old ceiling texture or old flooring, because some mid-century materials contained asbestos and old paint can contain lead. A lab test comes before demolition.

Commercial and resort-area properties

Anaheim has hotels and offices around the Anaheim Convention Center and the Honda Center, and large apartment communities near the Platinum Triangle. A leak there involves a property manager and often an insurer, so the first conversation is about who authorizes work.

Our line handles commercial calls too. We stop the water, protect the space and then document the loss for whoever is paying.

Nearby towns on the same line

Anaheim borders Buena Park and Stanton, and the same 24/7 number covers both. See our pages for Buena Park and Stanton if you work or own property across town lines.

Disneyland, Angel Stadium and the Anaheim Convention Center are helpful reference points when giving directions, though most residential calls will rely on your street and ZIP code.
