24/7 emergency line
(323) 709-0141Quick answer
We handle condo and townhome leaks, slab leaks, appliance failures, mold, and smoke and ash cleanup in Irvine. Crews come from our Los Angeles office at any hour. In attached homes we keep separate records for your unit, the neighbors and the common areas, because the HOA and each owner's insurer usually split the repair.
Irvine
In a townhome or condo, a failed supply line or water heater rarely stays in one unit. Water runs under shared walls and through floors. Who pays depends on where the leak started and what the HOA documents say.
We read every unit the water could have reached and photograph the source. So the association and each owner's insurer can see exactly what happened. Our guide to who handles what in a condo leak covers the rest.
Irvine
On October 26, 2020, the Silverado Fire started in the Santa Ana Mountains and more than 90,000 Irvine residents were evacuated that day. The fire burned more than 13,354 acres and did not damage a single structure in the city. Even so, smoke and ash reached homes across the evacuation zone. A house can need a careful smoke and ash cleaning even when the fire never came close to it.

Leak source inspectionHow it works here
Call and tell the dispatcher your unit, whether water came from your home or a neighbor's, and your HOA name. If it is coming from next door, the association or the neighbor needs to stop it at the source.
The crew extracts water and maps moisture across every affected unit. It removes only what cannot dry, sets equipment and keeps dated records for each owner, the HOA and the insurers.
