Malibu stretches along miles of Pacific coastline, mixing beachfront estates, hillside homes, and quiet canyon neighborhoods. Our headquarters at 14435 Sherman Way in Van Nuys is an easy drive from Malibu, so when a pipe bursts or a winter storm sends hillside runoff toward your property, our crews can be at your door fast, typically within the hour for emergencies.
Aging Plumbing
Salt air accelerates pipe corrosion in hillside and canyon homes, making pinhole leaks especially common.
Appliance Failures
Water-heater ruptures and washing-machine and dishwasher supply-line failures.
Storm Roof Leaks
Roof leaks during heavy winter storms soak ceilings and the framing below.
Hillside Runoff
Runoff that overwhelms drainage around foundations and lower levels.
Whatever the cause, we move quickly: rapid extraction, careful moisture mapping, and verified drying that protects both your property and your insurance claim.
Our Water Damage Restoration Services
From the first emergency call to the final walkthrough, every step is handled by one family-owned team.
- 1
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water does not wait, and neither do we. Our Malibu crews arrive around the clock with truck-mounted extractors and submersible pumps to remove water from beach homes, hillside estates, and commercial spaces before damage spreads.
- 2
Moisture Detection & Mapping
Infrared cameras and calibrated moisture meters find water hiding behind drywall, beneath stone and wood floors, and inside wall cavities, so no damp pocket is left behind to feed mold or weaken framing.
- 3
Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Commercial air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers dry framing, drywall, subfloors, and foundations to verified moisture targets. We log readings throughout so your property is proven dry, not just surface dry.
- 4
Mold Prevention & Remediation
Thorough drying is the best mold defense. If growth has already begun in damp wall cavities or under flooring, our IICRC-trained technicians contain the area, remove contaminated materials safely, and treat the space so mold cannot return.
- 5
Contents & Belongings Care
Furniture, art, rugs, electronics, and treasured keepsakes are moved to safety, cleaned, dried, and stored while your property is restored, then returned when the work is complete.
- 6
Repair & Reconstruction
As a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1096150), we rebuild what water destroyed: drywall, flooring, cabinetry, paint, and trim, so you deal with one company from the first emergency call to the final walkthrough.

How quickly can you reach my Malibu home?
Our crews serve Malibu from our Van Nuys headquarters and typically arrive within about an hour for emergencies, day or night. For active flooding, call 1-800-571-5021 right away so we can dispatch while you shut off the water source.
What should I do if hillside runoff is coming toward my house?
Protect life first and never drive through floodwater. If it is safe, move valuables and electronics to higher ground and switch off power where water is entering. Call us immediately. We respond to storm-driven water intrusion with emergency extraction and protective measures for your property.
Will my insurance cover water damage in Malibu?
Most homeowner and commercial policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes or appliance failures, while excluding gradual leaks and floodwater. We document everything with photos and moisture readings and work directly with your adjuster to support your claim.
How do you protect high-end finishes and art during restoration?
Malibu homes often feature custom finishes and valuable art. We move sensitive belongings to safe, climate-controlled storage, protect floors and fixtures in place, and restore damaged areas with meticulous craftsmanship, all handled by one licensed team from mitigation through reconstruction.
