Newhall's flood map changed in 2013 and 2014. FEMA stopped counting the railroad embankment as a levee, and when the new maps took effect, parts of Newhall north of Lyons Avenue moved into the high-risk zone while areas south of Lyons landed in moderate or low risk. The City of Santa Clarita counts about 3,600 acres of floodplain and nearly 4,400 parcels touching it, and a good share of them are here along the Santa Clara River and the creeks that feed it.
Old Town Newhall is the oldest part of Santa Clarita, with older houses and older pipe to match. Newer tracts up the canyons have their own issue: hillside runoff that arrives in a hurry.
Water Damage Repair Los Angeles connects Newhall homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider looks at the house and sets the scope.
Storm water that crosses a slab or fills a lower-level room is flood cleanup, and it includes the mud and debris that came in with it. A failed supply line or appliance hose leaves a clean-water mess that water extraction pulls off the floor before drying starts. Brush fires in the hills around the valley leave smoke inside homes that never burned, and wildfire smoke damage cleanup is a separate job from any water work.
Water service comes from SCV Water, formed on January 1, 2018 when the Newhall County Water District merged with the valley's other water retailers. Call SCV Water for a leak on the street side or a meter valve that will not turn.
Rebuild permits come from the City of Santa Clarita's Building and Safety Permit Center, which takes applications online. If your lot is north of Lyons Avenue, ask the city's Engineering Services about the flood zone before any slab-level rebuild.
