Quick answer
We handle burst pipes, crawl space water, sewage backups, water heater failures and mold in Boyle Heights houses and apartments. Crews come across the river from our Little Tokyo office at any hour. Tell dispatch whether the floor feels soft or the house smells musty, because that often means water under the floor.

Old houses, water underneath
In a house on a raised wood floor, a leaking supply line or drain under the bathroom can run into the crawl space for weeks. The first signs are a soft spot in the floor, a musty smell or a water bill that will not go down.
Drying those homes means getting under the house. We pump out standing water, dry the soil and framing, and check the subfloor before anything above it is replaced. Our earthquake prep guide covers strapping the water heater and finding the shutoffs.
Boyle Heights
Some of the oldest homes in the city
Just over half of the homes in Los Angeles were built before 1960. South LA and Boyle Heights hold the oldest stock on average, with typical home ages of 80 to 95 years. Many of those houses sit on raised wood floors over crawl spaces. That is the type the city's Earthquake Brace + Bolt program targets. The program also covers strapping water heaters to cut the risk of water and fire damage in a quake.

How a Boyle Heights call runs
Call and tell the dispatcher what you are seeing: water on the floor, a soft spot, a smell or a sound under the house. If you know where the leak is, close the main valve.
The crew finds the source and pumps any water out of the crawl space. It reads the subfloor and walls, removes what cannot dry and sets equipment above and below the floor until readings are dry.
