Sun Valley flood cleanupSun Valley service
Sun Valley has flooded in ordinary rain for decades, so storm water at the garage door is a familiar call here, along with the usual leaks inside.
24/7 emergency line
(323) 709-0141Quick answer
We handle street flooding into garages and ground floors, sewage backups and plumbing leaks in Sun Valley homes. Crews come from our Little Tokyo office at any hour. Water that comes in from the street is treated as contaminated, so soaked carpet, pad and the bottom of the drywall come out before drying.
Sun Valley
In parts of Sun Valley, rain has nowhere to go but along the street. It pools at driveways, runs under garage doors and reaches family rooms and bedrooms built at or near grade.
The same storms can overload sewer lines, so floor drains and toilets back up at the same time. Clean pipe leaks the rest of the year are a simpler drying job.
Sun Valley
Los Angeles County Public Works described the 4.4-square-mile Sun Valley watershed as having no storm drains, with flooding even in the lightest rain. Congressman Howard Berman said the community had seen severe, chronic flooding for well over 40 years. The county has since been building storm drains and the Rory M. Shaw Wetlands Park to hold the runoff, but older low spots in Sun Valley still take water in heavy storms.

Post-flood mold checksHow it works here
Call and tell the dispatcher whether water came from the street, a drain or a pipe. Keep away from standing water near outlets, and stop using water in the house if drains are backing up.
The crew extracts water, removes what outside water soaked, cleans and disinfects surfaces, maps moisture in the walls and floors, and dries to logged readings.
