Ceiling and Roof Leak Water Damage
Wind-driven rain through older roofs and windows.
Storm roof leaksSan Pedro service
San Pedro mixes older harbor-side houses with homes on hills and coastal bluffs, where the rain goes matters as much as how much falls.
24/7 emergency line
(323) 709-0141Quick answer
We handle burst pipes, roof leaks, storm runoff, water heater failures and mold in San Pedro homes, from the older streets near the harbor to houses on the hills and bluffs. Crews come from our Little Tokyo office at any hour. Call with your address and what failed, and dispatch will give you an arrival window.
San Pedro
Many San Pedro houses near the harbor are older, with original plumbing, raised wood floors and roofs that take the full force of wind-driven rain off the water.
Up on the hills and bluffs, the concern is runoff. Gutters, downspouts and yard drains that send water the wrong way can push it against foundations and into lower rooms. Our guide to getting pipes and water heaters ready for an earthquake is worth a read for hillside homes.
San Pedro
On November 20, 2011, about 420 feet of Paseo Del Mar slid 53 feet toward the ocean in the White Point landslide in San Pedro, on a mesa above a 120-foot coastal bluff. Los Angeles County rerouted two major storm drains there because the land kept moving. It is a reminder that on San Pedro's hills and bluffs, controlling where storm water goes is part of keeping it out of the house.

Call and tell the dispatcher where the water is coming from. For a burst pipe, close the main valve. For storm water, note where it is entering so we can check the drainage outside too.
The crew extracts water, reads walls, floors and any crawl space, removes only what cannot dry and sets equipment, logging readings and noting any drainage problem that let the water in.
