24/7 emergency line
(323) 709-0141Quick answer
We handle burst pipes, water from main breaks, pool and slope runoff, wood floor drying and mold in Encino homes. Crews come from our Little Tokyo office at any hour. Larger homes with wood floors and fine finishes get slower drying and careful protection.
Encino
Larger Encino homes have long supply runs, several bathrooms and often more than one water heater. A single failed fitting can travel a long way inside walls before anyone sees it.
On hillside lots, pools, decks and retaining walls add their own water: overflows in heavy rain and runoff that finds its way into lower rooms.
Encino
On September 8, 2014, a 66-year-old, 16-inch cast iron water main burst on Karen Drive in Encino. It opened a sinkhole about eight feet deep and sent water and mud across lawns and into swimming pools, and at least two homes were damaged and evacuated. The DWP said the city averages about three main breaks a day across 7,200 miles of pipe, so aging lines are part of life in Encino, inside and outside the house.

Call and tell the dispatcher whether the water came from inside or from a main, pool or slope outside. For an inside leak, close the main valve; tell us about gates and steep drives.
The crew protects finishes and contents, extracts water, maps moisture through every affected room and dries to logged readings, with photos room by room for your insurer.
