Mud and debris on terraces, garages and lower floors.
Mud and debris cleanupBel Air service
Bel Air homes sit high in the Santa Monica Mountains, where big storms drop more rain than the city below and send mud toward terraces, garages and lower floors.
24/7 emergency line
(323) 709-0141Quick answer
We handle storm mud, hillside drainage problems, plumbing leaks and mold in Bel Air and Beverly Crest homes. Crews come from our Little Tokyo office at any hour. Large homes with stone, wood and plaster finishes get slower drying and careful protection. Every room is documented for the insurer.
Bel Air
Storms stall over the Santa Monica Mountains. So the hills above the Westside can get far more rain than the flats. Water and mud come down canyons and driveways toward lower terraces, garages, pool equipment rooms and the lowest level of the house.
Inside, larger homes have long supply runs, several water heaters and upstairs laundry rooms. So a single failed fitting can travel a long way before anyone notices it.
Bel Air
During the February 4 to 6, 2024 atmospheric river, the Bel Air hills recorded 13.04 inches of rain, almost a full year of normal rainfall for downtown in three days. Nearby in Beverly Crest, a debris flow on February 5 forced residents of at least seven homes to evacuate, and firefighters said mud reached rooms, garages and pools. Mud that comes inside is treated as contaminated. So it is removed before any drying starts.

Mold testingHow it works here
Call and tell the dispatcher whether the water or mud is coming from outside or from inside. Stay away from walls with mud pushing against them, and tell us about gates, steep drives and parking so the crew plans access.
The crew removes mud and contaminated materials first, protects finishes and contents, maps moisture through every affected level and dries to logged readings, with photos room by room for the insurer.
