Quick answer
We handle storm runoff, burst pipes, water heater leaks and sewage backups in Pacoima homes. Crews come from our Little Tokyo office at any hour. Tell dispatch whether the water came from outside or from something in the house, since outside water is handled as contaminated.
Pacoima
Older houses between two washes
Many Pacoima homes are mid-century bungalows and ranch houses with additions built over the years. Leaks often start where old supply lines meet newer ones, under kitchen sinks and in water heater closets.
In big storms, low streets near the washes collect runoff that reaches driveways, garages and back rooms, and sewer lines can back up at the same time.
Pacoima
Built around flood control
Big Tujunga Creek meets Little Tujunga Creek to form the Tujunga Wash near Pacoima. In the 1938 flood, Big Tujunga Creek ran at more than 50,000 cubic feet per second and jumped its banks, destroying hundreds of buildings. The Army Corps of Engineers built the 97-foot Hansen Dam in 1940 to hold back future floods, and the Pacoima Wash feeds into the Tujunga Wash downstream. The washes keep the big floods in check, but heavy rain still pools on local streets.

How a Pacoima call runs
Call and tell the dispatcher where the water came from. For a burst pipe, close the main; for a water heater, close its cold supply and turn off its gas or power.
The crew extracts water, removes anything outside water or sewage reached, maps moisture in walls and floors and sets drying equipment, logging readings until the house is dry.
