Storm and Mudslide Cleanup
Mud and storm water from slopes into yards, garages and homes.
Mud and storm cleanupGlendale service
Glendale backs up against steep hills. So storm season brings water and mud down toward homes, while the flatter neighborhoods see the usual leaks and pipe failures.

(323) 709-0141Quick answer
We handle storm water, mud, burst pipes, kitchen leaks and mold in Glendale homes. Crews come from our Downtown Los Angeles office at any hour. For hillside streets, tell us whether water or mud is coming from the slope so the crew brings the right equipment.
Glendale
In the flatter parts of Glendale, the calls are the familiar ones: a supply line under a sink, a dishwasher, a water heater, a slow shower leak into the room below.
On the hillside streets, storm season adds water and debris coming down from the slopes, especially below hills that have burned. Those jobs often need mud removed and lower walls opened before drying can start.
Glendale
In October 2020 the Grandview Fire burned 8 acres of hillside north of West Mountain Street in Glendale. Los Angeles County Public Works then mapped post-fire debris-flow risk to homes along West Mountain Street and Idlewood Road and forecast debris flows for the following storm seasons. A small burn on a steep slope is enough to send mud toward the houses below once heavy rain arrives, which is why we ask hillside callers where the water is coming from.

Mold cleanupHow it works here
Tell the dispatcher whether the water is from a pipe, the roof or the slope outside. For hillside water, stay away from any wall bulging with mud and keep people out of rooms where it entered.
The crew removes standing water and mud, cuts back wet drywall where outside water reached it, maps moisture through the house and sets drying equipment, logging readings until everything is dry.
