According to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the 2017 main burst at about 3:30 a.m. and flooded the street from sidewalk to sidewalk. Overnight breaks like that can reach garages, driveways and ground-floor units before anyone is awake to notice.
If street water reaches your property, shut off electricity to affected areas if it is safe to do so and keep out of the water. Floodwater from a main needs extraction, cleaning and drying of floors, drywall and insulation. We also check wall cavities and subfloors for trapped moisture so mold does not follow.
How We Handle Losses in South Los Angeles
South Los Angeles homes and businesses face water main breaks, plumbing and water heater leaks, roof leaks during winter storms and sewer backups. Some of the area, including Westmont, is unincorporated county land, while the rest is in the City of Los Angeles, so we help you reach the right utility or agency while we start the dry-out. Multi-unit buildings need moisture checks in every unit the water touched.
Mold usually follows water in South Los Angeles homes. A slow leak inside a wall, an air conditioning drain line that backs up, or a room that stays damp through a humid season can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove the water used to put the fire out, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in South Los Angeles usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
