Torrance
Most Torrance homes have the water heater and washer in the garage. So the most common call is a tank or hose that failed and soaked the garage and the wall into the house.
Heavy, fast rain is the other one. When storm drains cannot keep up, water backs up in the street and comes in under garage doors, and sewer lines can back up into floor drains at the same time. Before anyone starts work, here is what to ask a restoration company.
Torrance
On December 16, 2014, more than two inches of rain fell on Torrance in about two hours. Storm drains could not keep up, cars were stranded with water at their windows, and police reported major flooding from 190th Street to Carson Street between Western and Van Ness avenues. Water that comes in from a flooded street is contaminated. So carpet, pad and the bottom of soaked drywall are removed before drying.

Contents cleaningHow it works here
Call and tell the dispatcher whether the water came from inside the house, the street or a drain. If a water heater failed, close its cold supply valve and turn off its gas or power.
The crew extracts water, removes what dirty water soaked, maps moisture in walls and floors and sets drying equipment, logging readings on every visit until the structure is dry.
