How this tool works
South of Ventura Boulevard, many Woodland Hills homes sit on cut-and-fill lots below a slope, often with a terraced yard, a retaining wall and a pool. After a long dry summer, the first atmospheric-river storm sends water across the ground fast. This check adds up the points that usually decide whether that water reaches the house: the slope, the state of the drains and weep holes, the retaining wall, a pool above the house and rooms below the level of the yard.
It is a first screen, not an engineering review. A cracked or leaning retaining wall or a moving slope is a job for a geotechnical engineer and the city. If runoff or mud does get inside, the mitigation team removes what it soaked and dries the lower level to the IICRC S500 goal.
