Quick answer
We handle hillside drainage problems, burst pipes, plaster wall damage, wet wood floors and mold in Silver Lake, Echo Park and Los Feliz. Crews come from our Little Tokyo office at any hour. Tell dispatch which level of the house is wet, since water in a hillside home usually ends up in the lowest room.
Silver Lake
Houses built into the hill
Many homes here step down the slope, with a garage or bedroom set into the hillside. When a storm saturates the ground or a pipe fails upstairs, that lower level takes the water, often behind walls that sit against soil.
These older houses also tend to have lath and plaster walls and original wood floors, which can usually be saved with slower, careful drying.
Silver Lake
Older stock across the hills
In Los Feliz, Silver Lake and Echo Park, less than 20 percent of the housing was built in the last 50 years. So most homes are old enough to have original plaster, wood floors and plumbing that has been patched more than once. Combined with houses set into slopes, that means water problems here often show up in lower rooms and behind walls that back onto the hill.

How a Silver Lake call runs
Call and tell the dispatcher which level is wet and whether the water is coming from inside or from the hill. On steep streets, say where the crew can park.
The crew stops the source and extracts water. It reads plaster, floors and the walls against the slope, removes only what cannot dry and sets equipment, logging readings until everything is dry.
