What Van Nuys homeowners deal with

Van Nuys is an apartment district. Census figures show 57% of homes in buildings with 5 or more units and 68% rented, against 36% and 54% across Los Angeles County. A leak in one unit often reaches the unit below or beside it. The tenant, the landlord and the building manager all need the same photos and readings. Ceiling repair after a leak in the lower unit waits until the framing tests dry.

Flood exposure is high here. FEMA's National Risk Index puts the yearly inland flood loss at $262 per $100,000 of building value, against $164 for the county. Rain is infrequent, at 3 days a year with an inch or more. But a heavy storm can push water into ground-floor units and underground parking, and that water is Category 3.

With 68% of homes built before 1980, older supply lines, water heaters and drain stacks are common sources of leaks. Van Nuys is served with the Burbank area, and calls are answered 24/7.

The first hour in Van Nuys

Water in a Van Nuys apartment rarely stays put. Census figures show 57% of homes are in buildings with 5 or more units. Close the valve behind the toilet, sink or washer, or the unit shutoff if you know where it is. Then call the manager so the riser can be closed if needed. Switch off the breakers for wet rooms and stay clear of a sagging ceiling. Photograph the water, the ceiling and your belongings before cleanup starts, and send the photos to the landlord. Move electronics and clothes to a dry corner. Tell the downstairs neighbor too, since ceiling repair after a leak may be needed below. The line is answered 24/7 for Van Nuys and the rest of the Burbank area.

Van Nuys water damage questions

How much does water damage restoration cost?

A small clean-water leak can be $150 to $500, while water that sat through much of a house can pass $15,000. Water removal and drying run about $3 to $12 per square foot, depending on whether the water was clean, gray or sewage. The written estimate after an inspection is the price that applies.

Do you take water damage calls in Van Nuys?

Yes, Van Nuys is covered, along with the rest of Los Angeles County. Call (833) 728-2327 any hour, say what is wet and where the water came from, and agree the visit time on the call. Nothing starts until you approve a written estimate.

How soon can a crew get to Van Nuys?

Arrival times depend on the hour and the distance across the Burbank area. The person on the call tells you when the crew can be in Van Nuys. Use the wait to close the main valve and photograph every wet room.

Will my insurance pay for water damage in California?

Often, when the damage is sudden. Standard homeowners policies list accidental discharge from plumbing and appliances as covered, according to the Insurance Information Institute, while flooding from outside and sewer backup need separate coverage. Check your policy, call your insurer early and keep the crew's photos and moisture readings.

Are older homes in Van Nuys more likely to have water damage?

Plumbing age is one of the main causes of household leaks: worn supply lines, corroded fittings and aging water heaters. In an older Van Nuys home, ask for moisture mapping around every fixture on the same line as the leak.
