Water Damage Restoration in Encino, CA

Encino has two kinds of water damage because it has two kinds of ground. South of Ventura Boulevard, Encino Hills climbs toward Mulholland Drive on cut and filled lots, where rain runs downhill and pipes run through slopes. North of the boulevard, the flats around Amestoy Estates are level, park-like parcels, and the Sepulveda Basin, a flood-control basin behind a dam finished in 1941, takes the river's storm water so the streets do not have to.

Ventura Boulevard itself has a history of water main breaks that flooded the street and nearby businesses more than once over the past decade.

What Encino homes need after water gets in

A hillside home with a slab that feels warm in one spot, or a water bill that climbed for no reason, needs leak detection before anyone breaks concrete. A flats home that took storm water through a garage or French door needs flood cleanup and a close look at the lower wall. With the Santa Monica Mountains at the back fence, brush fires in the hills can leave smoke residue inside a house that never saw a flame, and wildfire smoke damage cleanup handles that separately from any water work.

Encino water shutoff and permits

Encino is served by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Call LADWP for a leak on the street side of the meter or a meter valve that will not close. On a hillside lot, the house shutoff may be at the bottom of the driveway rather than beside the house.

Permits for wall, floor, or roof rebuilds come from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Hillside properties in the city get a closer look for anything that touches grading or retaining walls, so ask about that before a lower-level rebuild is planned.
