LA isn’t a place that gets constant rain, but often you will get storms and when those hit, it can be pretty bad unless you are prepared. According to insurance claim data, water intrusion is in the top causes of unexpected home repair costs in Southern California, especially after the first major rains. These are the 5 rainy-season repairs you need to get before you have to deal with damage— which by then, repairs are far more expensive. Addressing them early will protect your home, your budget, and your peace of mind. And if you want any professional to do it, you can hit us up 😉
1. Failing Window & Door Caulking ($80–$220)
Old caulking shrinks, cracks, and separates over time—rainwater doesn’t need much space to get inside.
Why It’s Ignored
Damage often happens behind walls before you see stains or bubbling paint.
What Happens If You Wait
- Water intrusion into drywall
- Mold growth around frames
- Warped trim and flooring
- Increased indoor humidity
Average Cost (Los Angeles)
$80–$220 depending on number of openings.
Time to Complete
1–2 hours.
2. Ceiling Stains & Hairline Drywall Cracks ($120–$350)
Small ceiling cracks or faint stains are often the first visible sign of roof or plumbing moisture.
Why It’s Ignored
They’re easy to dismiss as cosmetic—until the next storm makes them worse.
What Happens If You Wait
- Expanding water damage
- Mold behind ceilings
- Sagging drywall
- Higher repair costs later
Average Cost (Los Angeles)
$120–$350 depending on damage size and texture.
Time to Complete
2–4 hours plus drying.
3. Poor Bathroom & Kitchen Ventilation ($90–$250)
Rainy weather increases indoor humidity—even without leaks.
Why It’s Ignored
Vent fans still “turn on,” so homeowners assume they’re working properly.
What Happens If You Wait
- Condensation buildup
- Mold on ceilings and grout
- Peeling paint
- Damp smells that linger
Average Cost (Los Angeles)
$90–$250 for cleaning, repairs, or fan upgrades.
Time to Complete
30–90 minutes.
4. Exterior Door Threshold & Sweep Damage ($85–$200)
Water doesn’t just come from above—it enters at ground level too.
Why It’s Ignored
Door sweeps wear out slowly, and damage isn’t obvious until water pools inside.
What Happens If You Wait
- Water seepage into floors
- Swollen wood or laminate
- Drafts and energy loss
- Hidden mold near entryways
Average Cost (Los Angeles)
$85–$200 depending on door type.
Time to Complete
30–60 minutes.
5. Loose or Aging Interior Plumbing Seals ($100–$300)
Rainy season increases overall system pressure and exposes weak seals.
Why It’s Ignored
Leaks may only appear intermittently or under heavy use.
What Happens If You Wait
- Cabinet damage
- Warped flooring
- Mold under sinks
- Emergency plumbing calls
Average Cost (Los Angeles)
$100–$300 depending on fixtures.
Time to Complete
45–90 minutes.
