The Storms That Damage San Fernando Valley Properties
Hillside mudslides
Heavy rain can send mud and water into hillside homes. Mudslides closed Mulholland Drive in the Studio City area in February 2024 and a landslide in Sherman Oaks damaged homes in March 2024. Hillside runoff has also come off the slopes in Beverly Hills. We extract water and mud and dry the structure.
Sepulveda Basin and street flooding
Sepulveda Dam, operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, holds flood runoff from a 152-square-mile drainage area, and roads in the Sepulveda Basin have closed in heavy storms. Low streets and garages across the Valley can take on water quickly.
Post-fire debris flows
Burn scars raise the risk of flash floods and debris flows for several winters, including below the Palisades burn scar. Debris basins capture sediment and burned debris at canyon mouths, but runoff and mud can still reach homes, and ash may be mixed in.
Roof leaks and wind
Winter storms find weak flashing and worn roofing, and dry offshore winds can lift shingles and drop limbs on roofs. Water soaks attic insulation and ceilings before it shows, so we check attics after every storm call.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Missing or lifted shingles, or granules in the gutters after hail
- Water stains on ceilings after wind-driven rain
- Broken windows or doors
- Fallen trees or limbs on the roof
- Water inside after a flash flood or tropical storm
- Damp insulation in the attic
Stay away from downed power lines and do not enter a flooded room until the power is off. If it is safe, cover openings and move valuables away from leaks, take photos of the damage, and call (424) 417-2969.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how the storm got in: through the roof, through broken openings, or through flooding at ground level. Wind and hail damage often lets water into attics and wall cavities, where it spreads before it shows on a ceiling.
Tarping and board-up usually happen on the first visit. Drying takes 3 to 5 days in most homes, and repairs follow once the structure is dry and the scope is approved.
What We Restore After a Storm
- Roofs, after tarping and repair
- Attics and insulation
- Ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain
- Windows, doors, and siding
- Ground-floor rooms after flash floods
- Flooring and subfloors
- Fences and exterior structures
- Contents and electronics
Insurance and Documentation for Storm Damage Restoration
We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on storm claims, with photos, readings, and a written scope for your adjuster. Wind and hail damage are usually handled under your homeowner policy, while rising floodwater usually needs a separate flood policy, and some coastal policies carry a separate windstorm or hurricane deductible. We document how the water got in so your adjuster can apply the right coverage.
