Magalia is an unincorporated community northeast of Chico, in ZIP code 95954, about 28 km away by straight line. Its roads and drainage are not run from Chico, so a crew plans access from the road itself and the caller describes the site in detail.
On a call, give the address and the ZIP, and describe the water. Is it coming from above, from a pipe or from the ground? Is it still moving? The answers tell the crew which equipment to bring and whether it needs to shut off a supply first.

How far is Magalia from Chico, and how does the route affect a visit?
Magalia is about 28 km northeast of Chico, and the drive climbs out of the valley. The call-taker asks for the nearest cross road and the house number, since a long driveway can hide a house from the road. Those details shorten the search once the crew reaches the lane.
Phones are answered 24/7 and a crew is dispatched as fast as one is available. No arrival time is promised, because the route and the number of open calls change the order of the day.
Does the Chico drainage story apply to Magalia?
The Five-Mile Basin and Big Chico Creek are Chico's drainage. The Park Fire began in Bidwell Park in July 2024, and the County memo's flow estimates describe the Five-Mile diversion. Those are facts about that system. They do not describe Magalia's ditches, drainage or lots, and a homeowner here should not read them as a forecast for their own house.
The general effect of a burned watershed still applies. Burned ground sheds water faster and carries silt, and storm water can run down a hillside and into a low spot quickly. Whether a Magalia house takes water depends on the grade and the structure, and a crew establishes that on site.
What does a crew check first on a hillside Magalia lot?
On a sloped lot the crew traces the water's path from the highest point down. It checks where runoff reached the foundation, whether a retaining wall or a driveway channeled it, and whether a crawl space or a lower storage room took it in. That path shows where wet material is most likely to be.
Inside, the technician extracts standing water and maps the wet area with moisture meters. Walls and floors are opened only where the readings show water, and the rest is dried in place. The moisture log is shared with the homeowner at the end of the job.
What should a Magalia homeowner keep, and who handles mold?
Photograph the water path, the source and the damaged materials before anything is moved. Keep damaged materials until your insurer has seen them, and keep receipts for emergency pumping or temporary covers. The policy and the insurer decide what is covered.
The California Contractors State License Board notes that mold is regulated by local health services agencies, so mold questions go to the local health office. Ask the crew which materials it will remove and which it will dry, and get the scope in writing before work begins.

FAQ
Magalia FAQs
How far is Magalia from Chico?
Magalia is an unincorporated community about 28 km northeast of Chico, in ZIP code 95954. The drive climbs from the valley, and no arrival time is promised for any call.
Since Magalia is unincorporated, who do I call about the road drainage?
This line handles the water in your house and the crew's visit. Questions about road drainage are for the agency that maintains the road, which the crew cannot answer for you.
Could Chico creek water affect my Magalia house?
The Five-Mile diversion and its flow estimates describe Chico's drainage. They do not map Magalia's ditches or lots, so a crew reads the water and grade on your property.
What should I tell the call-taker about a long driveway?
Give the house number, the nearest cross road and a note about where the driveway leaves the road. That lets the crew find the house without a long search.
Who handles mold questions in Magalia?
Local health services agencies regulate mold in California. Call the local health office for exposure questions, and ask the crew which materials it will remove.
