The Los Angeles Fire Department fought two apartment fires in Watts on the night of March 4, 2022, one on East 103rd Street and one on South Juniper Street, both within the Jordan Downs units.
After any apartment fire, neighboring units can have smoke, soot and water damage even where flames never reached. We seal off affected areas, remove standing water, clean soot with wet methods and HEPA vacuums, and treat smoke odor in walls and HVAC. Los Angeles County Public Health advises wet cleaning and HEPA vacuums for ash, and says to avoid leaf blowers and shop vacuums, which put fine particles back in the air.
How We Handle Losses in Watts and Willowbrook
Fire and smoke, burst pipes, appliance leaks and sewage backups are the losses we prepare for in Watts and Willowbrook. In Watts, which is in the City of Los Angeles, property owners are responsible for their entire private sewer lateral, from the building to the street connection, so a backup can point to a problem on the owner's side of the line. Willowbrook, home to Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital, is unincorporated county, so its public service providers differ.
Mold usually follows water in Watts and Willowbrook 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 Watts and Willowbrook 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.
