Water damage restoration in Koreatown, Los Angeles

Koreatown packs more people into less space than almost anywhere in Los Angeles. Many of its residents live in 1920s apartment buildings where one leak rarely stays in one unit.

Quick answer

We handle leaks between units, old riser and drain failures, sewage backups and mold in Koreatown apartment buildings, condos and storefronts. Crews come from our nearby Little Tokyo office at any hour. In a building we keep separate dated records for every unit the water reached, plus the corridors and the owner.

Koreatown

Old buildings, many neighbors

In a 1920s brick or wood-frame apartment building, the plumbing risers, drains and roof have usually been patched many times. When a riser or a toilet supply fails, water runs down through several units and into the corridor ceilings.

That means a tenant, a manager, an owner and sometimes more than one insurer, all needing to see the same facts. We read every unit above, below and beside the source and keep their records separate. Our guide on leaks in condos and HOA buildings explains how those records are used.

Koreatown

The densest neighborhood in the city

By some measures Koreatown is the most densely populated neighborhood in Los Angeles, with more than 100,000 people living in under three square miles, or more than 42,000 per square mile. Much of that housing is 1920s-era brick apartment buildings from the city's 1920s building boom. Dense, old buildings full of shared walls and stacked bathrooms are why so many Koreatown calls involve several units at once.

How it works here

How a Koreatown call runs

Call and give the building, your unit, and whether water is coming from above or from your own unit. The manager may need to shut a riser or get into the unit where it started.

The crew extracts water, reads every unit and corridor the water could have reached, removes only what cannot dry and sets equipment, keeping dated records for each tenant, the owner and the insurers.
