Water Damage Restoration in Lake of the Woods, CA

There is no lake at Lake of the Woods. Florence Cuddy named the place in 1925 when she and her husband subdivided the east end of their ranch, hoping the springs and the stream out of Cuddy Valley would fill a pond behind a small dam. It did, some years, and then the dam burst in 1962 and the lake has been dry since. What stayed is a community of cabins and small houses at about 5,100 feet along Frazier Mountain Park Road, between Frazier Park and the climb to Cuddy Valley.

The housing is older and close together, much of it on piers, and Cuddy Creek still runs through in a wet year.

This site connects Lake of the Woods homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. Once the provider has seen the Lake of the Woods cabin, they walk you through what it needs.

What goes wrong in Lake of the Woods homes

A frozen line under a raised floor that thawed and ran is the usual winter call, and the water ends up under the house, where crawl space water extraction pumps it out and dries the joists. A supply line that let go in a kitchen wall floods the floor first and needs water extraction before drying can start. A pump that cycles all night or a bill that jumped points to a hidden line, which is where leak detection comes in.

The mutual water company and the permit desk in Lake of the Woods

The community has had its own water since 1947 through the Lake of the Woods Mutual Water Company, a shareholder-owned company with an office on Mt. Pinos Way. Call the company if the meter valve will not turn or the leak is between the street and the meter. Rebuild permits for this unincorporated community go through Kern County Public Works, which keeps an office a mile down the road in Frazier Park.
