Water Damage Restoration in the San Fernando Valley
From Van Nuys to Woodland Hills and Burbank to Northridge, our IICRC-certified crews answer water emergencies 24/7 across the entire San Fernando Valley.
The Valley's Own Water Damage Restoration Team
The San Fernando Valley stretches nearly 30 miles from Woodland Hills to Sunland, and water damage does not care which neighborhood you are in. A burst pipe in a Northridge ranch, a failed washing machine hose in a Van Nuys apartment, a slab leak under an Encino mid-century home, storm runoff pooling in a Studio City garage: every corner of the Valley has its own version of the same emergency.
Because our home base sits in the middle of the Valley, we can typically reach your property within the hour, day or night. Our IICRC-certified technicians arrive with commercial extraction equipment, moisture meters, and drying systems, and stay with the job through final repairs. As a licensed general contractor, we rebuild what we remove.
Whether the damage comes from aging galvanized plumbing, a ruptured water heater, a dishwasher supply line, an air-conditioner condensate leak in the August heat, or winter storm runoff, you get one family-owned team, clear documentation for your insurer, and a home or business dried properly the first time.
Our Water Damage Restoration Services
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction
Water never waits for business hours, and neither do we. Our crews answer around the clock and pull standing water from floors, lower levels, crawl spaces, and garages across the Valley, from Chatsworth to Burbank, before it soaks deeper into framing and subfloors.
Moisture Detection & Mapping
What you can see is only part of the damage. We use infrared cameras and moisture meters to map every wet pocket inside walls, ceilings, and floors, so nothing hidden is left behind to feed mold or rot beneath your finishes.
Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Summer heat in the Valley pushes humidity high, which slows drying and invites mold. We place commercial air movers and dehumidifiers precisely, monitor moisture daily, and keep drying until materials return to safe readings, not just until they feel dry.
Mold Prevention & Remediation
In Valley homes with limited airflow, mold can begin within 48 hours of a leak. We apply antimicrobial treatments during drying, remove any growth safely under containment, and fix the moisture source so it does not come back.
Contents & Belongings Care
From furniture and electronics to family keepsakes and business inventory, we inventory, pack out, clean, and store your belongings in a secure facility while your space is restored, then return everything once repairs are complete.
Repair & Reconstruction
Drywall, flooring, cabinets, baseboards: whatever demolition the drying required, our licensed general contractors (CSLB #1096150) rebuild it. You work with one Valley-based company from the first call to the final walkthrough.

Water Damage FAQs
How fast can you reach my Valley home or business?
Our headquarters at 14435 Sherman Way in Van Nuys sits near the center of the San Fernando Valley, so for most Valley addresses we arrive within the hour for emergencies, 24 hours a day. Call 1-800-571-5021 and we dispatch immediately.
What should I do right after discovering water damage?
Shut off the water at the main valve if the source is a burst pipe or supply line, turn off power to wet areas if it is safe to do so, move valuables to dry ground, and call us. Do not use a household vacuum on standing water or enter water that may be electrically charged. Our crews will handle the rest.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage restoration?
Most policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes and appliance failures, though gradual leaks may be excluded. We document everything with photos and moisture readings and work directly with your adjuster to support your claim.
Can you handle apartment buildings and commercial properties?
Yes. From garden apartments in North Hollywood to office suites in Warner Center and retail along Ventura Boulevard, we scale our crews and equipment for multi-unit and commercial losses, including after-hours work to keep businesses open.
