Downey properties
What Downey properties run into.
The damage we see most often here, and what causes it.
Mid-century plumbing
Many Downey homes were built in the 1940s and 1950s. Galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains from that era corrode and crack, often under the slab.
Sewer line backups
Tree roots and cracked clay or cast iron laterals cause backups into tubs and floor drains. Sewage water needs removal and disinfection, not just drying.
Heavy rain between two rivers
Downey sits between the Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel River. During big storms, runoff and blocked drains push water under doors and into garages.

Four things to do while we are on the way
If it's safe, these steps limit the damage and make the insurance side easier.
Water: stop the source
Shut off the main water valve and flip the breakers for wet rooms. Don't walk through standing water while the power is still on.
Fire & smoke: hands off the soot
Keep foot traffic low and don't wipe walls or furniture. Oily soot smears into paint and fabric, and it needs specific cleaners to come off.
Structure: keep your distance
Stay clear of sagging ceilings, wet drywall overhead and anything a storm or fire has weakened. We stabilize it when we arrive.
Claims: photograph everything
If it is safe, take photos and short videos of the water line, damaged rooms and belongings before anything moves. Your adjuster will ask.

Frequently asked questions
We're here to make it easy.
How fast can you get to Downey?
We are on call 24/7 and typically arrive within 45 minutes. The dispatcher gives you an arrival time when you call.
What should I do if sewage backs up into my house?
Stop using water in the house, keep kids and pets away from the area and call us. Sewage carries bacteria, so affected carpet, pad and drywall usually have to be removed and the area disinfected.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We document the damage with photos and moisture readings, talk directly with your adjuster and bill the carrier for covered work.
How long does water damage restoration take?
Drying usually takes three to five days. Repairs depend on what was removed, from a few days for drywall and paint to a few weeks for flooring and cabinets.
Do you handle both cleanup and repairs?
Yes. The team that dries and cleans the property also rebuilds it, so you keep one contact from start to finish.
