24/7 emergency line
(323) 709-0141Quick answer
We handle water heater failures, pipe leaks, slab leaks and wet carpet in Reseda houses, duplexes and apartments. Crews come from our Little Tokyo office at any hour. Call with your address and what failed, and dispatch will walk you through the shutoff.
Reseda
Many Reseda homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s and have had additions, garage conversions and plumbing repairs since. Leaks often start at those joins: an old line tied into a newer one, or a water heater moved into a closet.
In duplexes and small apartment buildings, a leak in one unit usually reaches the next, so we read the units on both sides and keep separate records.
Reseda
The 1994 earthquake is named for Northridge, but its epicenter was in Reseda. Across the San Fernando Valley, underground gas and water lines were severed, and fires started from broken gas lines where houses shifted off their foundations or water heaters were not secured. A strapped heater and flexible connectors are the cheapest protection Reseda homes can add against the next one.

Wet carpet cleanupHow it works here
Call and tell the dispatcher what failed. For a water heater, close its cold supply and turn off its gas or power; for a pipe, close the main.
The crew extracts water, maps moisture in walls, floors and the slab, removes only what cannot dry and sets equipment, with separate records for each unit in a duplex or building.
