Quick answer
We handle slab leaks, burst pipes, water heater failures and storm runoff in Granada Hills homes. Crews come from our Little Tokyo office at any hour. Most houses here sit on slabs, so we map moisture through the concrete before deciding what flooring comes up.
Granada Hills
Mid-century ranch houses
A slab hides water well. A leaking hot water line under the floor can spread beneath carpet and flooring for days. The first signs are a warm spot, a damp edge along a wall or a water bill that will not drop.
Garages are the other common source. Older tank water heaters and washer hoses fail there and push water under the wall into a family room or bedroom.
Granada Hills
Balboa Boulevard, 1994
In the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake, a gas main ruptured and caught fire on Balboa Boulevard in Granada Hills and burned several homes. At the same moment, a large water main beside it broke and turned the street into a river two to three feet deep. That is a rare event, but it shows how quickly a broken line can put water into a house, and why strapped water heaters and known shutoffs matter here.

How a Granada Hills call runs
Call and tell the dispatcher where the floor is wet or warm. If you suspect a slab leak, close the main valve until a plumber has found it.
The crew maps moisture across the slab and walls, lifts flooring only as far as the wet edge and dries the concrete with mats and dehumidifiers until it matches a dry reference.
