Mobile homes are a large share of the city

Census estimates count about 1,886 mobile homes in Stanton, roughly 14 percent of its 13,269 housing units, a higher share than in Westminster or Garden Grove. Only about 27 percent of units are detached single-family houses, and 31 percent are in buildings with five or more units. In a manufactured home, supply and drain lines run under the floor, so a slow leak can rot the subfloor before it shows. In an apartment or condo, one failed water heater or toilet supply line can reach the unit below.

Housing from the 1950s through the 1970s

The median year built for Stanton housing is 1975, and about 65 percent of units predate 1980. Plumbing in most of these units is 45 years old or more unless it has been replaced.

The city's sewer lines average about 70 years old

Orange County LAFCO's 2023 report lists the City of Stanton's sewer system at 50.4 miles, one lift station and an average age of about 70 years. The report says Stanton was updating its sewer master plan and expected to update its drainage master plan. Old sewer lines and old private laterals are where root intrusion and grease blockages lead to backups inside homes.

Water comes from Golden State Water, not the city

Golden State Water Company serves about 30,100 customers in Stanton, Cypress, Los Alamitos and parts of neighboring cities through its West Orange County system, using a blend of local groundwater and imported water. LAFCO lists the system's infrastructure at an average age of 52 years, supplied by 14 wells.

Sewage shaped the town from the start

The city's history says Stanton first incorporated in 1911 so local ranchers could block Anaheim's plan for a sewage farm on the land. It disincorporated in 1924 and incorporated again in 1956.

What to do while water is still coming in

  1. Find the right shutoff. In a mobile home, the main valve is on the supply riser under the home. In a condo or apartment, it may be a valve in the unit, under a sink or at the water heater, or a building valve the manager controls. Houses usually have one near the front hose bib.
  2. Warn the neighbor below if you live upstairs, and ask the manager or HOA to check the unit under yours.
  3. Shut off electricity to wet areas at the breaker, but only from dry ground.
  4. Do not flush or run water if a toilet or drain is backing up. Treat that water as sewage.
  5. Call Golden State Water for a main break. It runs the water system in Stanton and lists its customer line as 1-800-999-4033.

How the contractor dries a Stanton home

The contractor uses the IICRC S500 process. It starts with an inspection and moisture readings to map the wet area, which in a mobile home includes the belly wrap and subfloor and in a condo includes shared walls. Water is extracted, and materials that cannot be dried are removed, such as wet insulation, carpet pad or particleboard subfloor. Air movers and dehumidifiers run while the crew the contractor sends logs daily readings, and the job ends with cleaning and a photo record for insurance. A sewer backup is Category 3 water, so porous materials it touched are thrown out and hard surfaces are disinfected.

Stanton water damage FAQ

Does my mobile home policy cover water damage?

Coverage depends on the policy. Sudden leaks from plumbing are often covered, while flood and gradual leaks usually are not. If you rent your space in a park, ask management who owns the lines under the home.

I rent. Who calls the contractor?

About half of Stanton households rent, per Census data. Tell your landlord or manager right away and in writing. The owner usually arranges repairs to the building, and renters insurance may cover your belongings. You can still call to be connected with a contractor if the owner agrees.

Who do I call about a water main or meter leak?

Golden State Water Company runs Stanton's water system. Report street leaks and meter problems to its customer line at 1-800-999-4033.

Who is the contractor, and what does the referral cost me?

An independent restoration company that covers Stanton. The contractor pays HB Water Damage a referral fee; you do not. Read more on the how it works page, or see burst pipe water damage for what a supply-line failure involves.
