Stanton is about half rentals, so the first call is often a tenant's
About 51 percent of Stanton's 11,361 housing units were renter-occupied in 2020, and 49 percent were owner-occupied. Stanton covers only about 3.1 square miles, so many households live close together in apartments and small multi-unit buildings.
If you rent, tell your landlord in writing, photograph the damage and your belongings, and keep copies. Ask whether your renter policy covers your contents. Structural repairs are usually the owner's job, but the 24/7 line can start extraction while you sort out who pays.
When water is spreading in Stanton
Emergency dispatch is available around the clock for Stanton. The 24/7 line is open at night, on weekends and on holidays, and we begin with how to stop the source and stay safe.
In multi-unit buildings, leaks travel through ceilings and walls into the units below. Shutting off water inside your unit may not stop it, so call the property manager immediately. A crew then arranges emergency water removal and a plan to dry the neighboring units.

What to do before we arrive in Stanton if water is still spreading
Shut it off
Golden State Water serves Stanton. If the leak is at the meter, call them. Inside, close the fixture valve or the main shutoff.
Tell the manager
In an apartment, notify the property manager so neighbors can be warned and the building shutoff can be used.
Stay clear of wiring
If water touches outlets, stay out and call the utility or 911 for any electrical risk.
Lift and photograph
Move valuables to dry ground and photograph the damage before anything is removed.
Streets and places in Stanton
Stanton has no freeway inside its limits. Beach Boulevard runs north to south, with Knott, Western, Dale and Magnolia Avenues alongside it, and Katella, Chapman, Orangewood and Lampson Avenues cross east to west.
Stanton Central Park, Lions-Stock Park and Adventure City are landmarks that help with directions. Because the grid is simple, a cross street such as Katella Avenue and Beach Boulevard is enough for a dispatcher to place you.
Services for Stanton properties
Most Stanton calls need drying after a supply line or appliance leak. See water mitigation for equipment and readings, and water damage cleanup for removing wet debris.
When the damage spreads to walls and ceilings, water damage repair rebuilds them. If a unit has stayed damp, mold remediation explains how to contain and remove it. Fire protection in Stanton comes from the Orange County Fire Authority and police services from the Orange County Sheriff, so call 911 for fire or gas risk.
A tenant checklist for water damage in Stanton
- Tell the landlord or manager in writing, with the date
- Photograph and film the damage and every damaged belonging
- Keep wet items until the insurer or landlord has seen them
- Ask your renter insurance company what it covers for contents and temporary housing
- Keep copies of every message and receipt
Structural repairs are normally the building owner's job, while your belongings are yours to document. If the manager is slow to respond, the 24/7 line can start extraction so the damage does not grow while the paperwork waits.
An older city with a short history of its own
A first City of Stanton was incorporated in 1911 and voted to disincorporate in 1924, before the present city formed in 1956. A railway once recorded the area as Benedict, and interurban rail service to Santa Ana ended in 1950.
That long settlement history means some buildings are older than their neighbors. Ask your landlord or check county records for a building's age, because pipe materials and wall construction change from decade to decade.
