Heavy rain finds weak spots in roofs.
Balboa Island and Lido Isle have homes built close to sea level. Corona del Mar and Newport Heights have hillside and bluff homes. Homes on Balboa Island and the Peninsula sit just above sea level, protected by seawalls, and king tides and storm surge can push water into garages and ground floors. Many luxury homes have multiple water heaters, radiant heating, pools and long plumbing runs, and a leak in a high-end home can damage custom cabinets, stone and hardwood quickly. Bluff homes in Corona del Mar face drainage challenges.
