Cut power to wet rooms
Turn off breakers for any room with water near outlets, and stay out from under soaked ceilings.
3
Photograph before moving
Take wide and close photos of the water, the source and damaged belongings before anything is moved.

Lift what can be saved

Local risk profile
Why Beverly Hills homes take on water
The city climbs from the Flats into the hills north of Sunset Boulevard, and its homes range from 1910s estates to 1960s Trousdale houses and Wilshire condos. Each type fails differently.
February 4 to 6, 2024
Two atmospheric rivers hit Southern California. Bel Air, on the city's northwest edge, logged 12.42 inches of rain in 24 hours, and Los Angeles declared a state of emergency.
- Hillside runoff. Lots north of Sunset Boulevard and in Trousdale Estates sit above the Flats. In a hard storm, water runs down driveways and stairs and collects at the lowest door, garage or area drain.
- Original pipes in older homes. Building started in 1907 and grew through the 1920s, with estates like Greystone finished in 1928. Homes that keep original galvanized or copper supply pipe see it pinhole or split inside walls.
- Hard water. City water averages about 17 grains per gallon of hardness. Scale builds up in water heaters, valves and appliance hoses, which then fail sooner and leak into garages, closets and cabinets.
- Sewer laterals. The pipe from the house to the city main belongs to the owner, and the city encourages yearly maintenance and suggests a plumber's video inspection. Wipes, grease and tree roots are common causes of backups.
- Stacked apartments and condos. About 58 percent of homes are renter-occupied, and South of Wilshire has more apartment buildings than anywhere else in the city. A leak in one unit reaches the ceiling below.
What sets this restoration team apart
Built for hillside homes, the Flats and high-rise condos
Water moves differently in a terraced hillside house, a prewar home on a raised floor and a stacked condo, so the drying plan starts from the building type.
Dispatch at any hour
Active water is treated as urgent day and night, holidays included, and the response team arrives with pumps, air movers and meters.
IICRC S500 drying
Framing, subfloor and plaster are dried to a dry reference, not just until the surface feels dry to the touch.
A claim-ready file
Moisture maps, daily psychrometric logs and timestamped photos taken before any demolition go to the adjuster.
Care for fine finishes
Hardwood, stone and plaster get drying mats and desiccant units, with containment that protects the rooms that stayed dry.
The drying standard, step by step
IICRC S500 drying, the same steps on every job
IICRC S500 is the industry standard for water damage restoration. It sets how a loss is categorized, how equipment is sized to each room and the dry target that readings must reach before any equipment leaves.
Moisture mapping first LGR and desiccant dehumidifiers Readings logged every day
1
Map the moisture
Meters and thermal imaging trace how far water traveled in walls, floors and ceilings before any equipment goes down.
2
Set category and class
Category 1, 2 or 3 sets what can be dried in place; Class 1 to 4 sets how much equipment each room needs.
3
Dry inside containment
Air movers and LGR dehumidifiers run inside plastic containment, with desiccant units for dense hardwood, plaster and concrete.
4
Verify against a reference
Daily readings are compared with a dry reference material in the same building until wet areas sit within 2 to 4 points.
Three categories of water damage
Clean, gray or black water changes the whole job
Gray water from appliances
Category 2Category 2 water from a washer, dishwasher or overflow. Carpet pad usually comes out, and surfaces get an EPA-registered antimicrobial.
Appliance and supply hose leaks ›Black water from sewage and runoff
Category 3Category 3 water from a sewer backup or hillside runoff that crossed soil. Porous materials it touched are removed, not dried.

What the claim file holds
Documentation an adjuster can actually use
A water claim is decided on the file. The mitigation team builds that file as the work happens, so the adjuster can see what was wet, why it was removed and when it read dry.
- A moisture map of every affected room
- Daily psychrometric logs of temperature and humidity
- Timestamped photos taken before any demolition
- The water category and class of loss, in writing
- A line-item scope of what was removed and dried
Check your own policy
Most homeowner policies treat sudden and accidental water, such as a burst pipe or a failed water heater, differently from flooding or a slow leak.
Surface water and flooding are usually separate coverage. Coverage depends on your policy, so read it and check with your own insurer before work beyond mitigation begins.

FAQ
Water damage questions for Beverly Hills homes
How fast does someone respond to an active leak?
Dispatch runs 24/7, holidays included, and active water is treated as urgent at any hour. The crew heads out with extraction gear, air movers and meters, because every hour of standing water soaks deeper into walls, subfloor and finishes.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage restoration?
Many policies cover sudden and accidental water, such as a burst pipe or a failed water heater, while flooding, surface runoff and slow leaks are treated differently. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer. The claim file documents what happened either way.
What causes most water damage in local homes?
Older supply pipe in prewar homes, hard water that wears out water heaters and hoses, sewer laterals that clog, stacked condos where one leak reaches the unit below, and hillside runoff during atmospheric river storms like the ones in February 2024.
How long does drying usually take?
A contained clean-water loss usually dries in three to five days. Plaster, hardwood, stone and concrete take longer because dense materials release water slowly. Equipment stays until readings sit within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference.
What is the IICRC S500 standard?
IICRC S500 is the industry standard for water damage restoration. It sets how water is categorized, how drying equipment is sized for each room, and the dry target that readings must reach before equipment comes out.
What should be done while waiting for the crew?
Close the main or the fixture valve, switch off breakers for wet rooms, and photograph everything before it is moved. Lift rugs, art and electronics off wet floors, and stay out of rooms under a sagging ceiling.
When does wet drywall have to come out?
Drywall soaked by clean water can often be dried in place if extraction starts early. Drywall touched by sewage or runoff comes out, and so does drywall that swells, crumbles or stays wet past the 24 to 48 hour window when mold can start to grow.
Why is a sewage backup handled differently?
Sewage is Category 3 water from the first minute. Technicians wear PPE, contain the area, remove porous materials above the waterline, and treat surfaces with an EPA-registered antimicrobial at its labeled dwell time before drying begins.
How is the cost of a water damage job figured?
Cost follows the water category, the square footage that got wet, the material class and how fast drying started. Hardwood, stone and plaster add equipment days, and a sewage loss adds removal, containment and cleaning.
Can hillside runoff be dried like a pipe leak?
No. Runoff that crossed soil, mulch or pavement is treated as contaminated, so carpet, pad and soaked drywall are usually removed. The slab and framing are then cleaned, treated and dried to the same S500 target.
24/7 emergency dispatch
Water on the floor, through a ceiling or under the door?
One call starts extraction, containment and drying, with readings logged daily for the claim file.
