The Storms That Damage West LA and Downtown LA Properties
Atmospheric-river rain
In the February 2024 storm, crews responded to 520 mudslides across Los Angeles. Days of steady rain find every weak point: roof penetrations, flashing, windows, garage doors and drainage that cannot keep up.
Ballona Creek and flood control channels
Ballona Creek is an 8.8-mile flood control channel maintained by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, draining a 130-square-mile watershed. In heavy rain, runoff on streets and low spots can still enter garages and ground-floor rooms, so we extract water and dry structure quickly.
Coastal flooding and high surf
The National Weather Service issues coastal flood and high surf advisories for Los Angeles County beaches. Sea water at high tide can reach low-lying coastal areas, and salt water leaves residue that is cleaned along with the drying.

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) 417-6415.
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.
