If it is safe, stop the source of the water and keep people away from standing water near electrical hazards. Move important belongings to a dry area if you can. Then call Los Angeles Water Damage so our team can begin water extraction, drying, and cleanup. You can also request an estimate to get started.
As fast as possible. Moisture soaks into drywall, wood, carpet, cabinets, and insulation, and mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours. The EPA recommends drying water-damaged areas within that window to help prevent mold. Acting quickly is the best way to limit damage and repair costs. Learn more from the EPA's mold cleanup guidance.

Many policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe or appliance leak. Flooding from outside water (storms, rising water) is usually handled through separate flood insurance rather than standard homeowners policies. You can learn more about flood coverage through FloodSmart.gov, the National Flood Insurance Program. We document the damage thoroughly to help with your claim, but coverage decisions are made by your insurer.
We help identify moisture conditions that can lead to mold growth. When mold is present, the affected materials need proper containment, cleanup, and drying. Acting quickly to dry the area is the best way to prevent mold from spreading. For general guidance on mold and your home, the EPA's mold resources are a helpful reference.
It depends on how much standing water there was, how long materials stayed wet, and whether repairs are needed. Drying often takes several days, while larger restoration projects can take longer. We explain the expected timeline after inspecting your property.
Usually not. Most standard homeowners policies exclude flooding from external sources, which is why a separate flood insurance policy through the National Flood Insurance Program may be needed. You can check your flood risk and coverage options at FEMA's flood insurance page. We can still help with the cleanup and restoration regardless of coverage.
