California Water Damage Risk Profile
Primary threats: Atmospheric river storms, wildfire-scarred hillside flooding and mudslides, aging urban plumbing infrastructure.
California's water damage risk swings between extremes. Winter atmospheric river storms can drop huge amounts of rain in short periods, overwhelming drainage systems built for a drier climate. In areas near recent wildfire burn scars, that same rainfall can trigger flash flooding and mudslides since burned hillsides no longer absorb water the way they used to. On top of that, many homes across older parts of the state still have aging plumbing that is more prone to leaks and failures during heavy-use periods.
