We handle attic AC overflows, slab leaks, water heater failures and smoke and ash cleanup in West Hills homes. Crews come from our Little Tokyo office at any hour. If water is dripping from a ceiling in summer, turn the AC off at the thermostat before you call.
West Hills
Hot summers, open hills
Most West Hills houses are single-story ranch homes with the air handler in the attic. On long hot stretches, a clogged condensate line can drip into the ceiling for days before a stain shows.
The neighborhood also backs onto brush-covered hills, so fire season brings smoke and ash into homes even when the flames stay up the slope.

When the Woolsey Fire came over the hills
The Woolsey Fire started in November 2018 near the former Rocketdyne Santa Susana Field Laboratory in the Santa Susana Pass. Homes were destroyed in West Hills as the fire entered the San Fernando Valley, and evacuation orders covered the entire community. Homes left standing after a fire like that still carry ash and smoke residue in rooms, closets and ducts, which have to be cleaned in the right order.

How a West Hills call runs
Call and tell the dispatcher whether it is water or smoke. For an AC leak, switch the system off; after a fire, keep the heating and air off until the ducts are cleaned.
Water jobs start with extraction and a moisture map, then drying to logged readings. Smoke jobs start with photos and HEPA vacuuming from the ceiling down, then wet cleaning and odor treatment.
