Balboa Island is a small, low-lying island in Newport Harbor, reached by bridge and by ferry from the Balboa Peninsula, with Marine Avenue as its main street and bayfront homes around its edge. The island sits close to the water on every side, and that is its main water risk: king tides and bay flooding can push harbor water over low seawalls and onto streets, garages, and ground floors, especially when a high tide meets heavy rain.
Most Balboa Island homes are older and closely spaced, with small lots and ground floors near street level. Salt air can corrode pipes and fittings over time, and a pinhole leak inside a wall can wet plaster and flooring before it is seen. Pipes under the slab can leak with age, winter storms can drive rain under roof tiles and through deck flashing, and a water heater, washing machine, or refrigerator line can fail and release water across a floor. Fire damage restoration, smoke cleanup, and soot removal are extra services on this site.
