Water Damage in Downtown LA

Downtown Los Angeles has thousands of residents in high-rise condos, new apartment towers and lofts converted from historic office and industrial buildings, many under the city’s Adaptive Reuse Ordinance.

In vertical buildings, water follows gravity through floors, shafts and walls, so a single failed supply line can affect units several floors down. Fire sprinkler discharges are another source these buildings have. Fast shutoff by building engineering and quick mapping of every affected unit make the biggest difference.

Good to Know in Downtown LA

  • Water Service

    LADWP supplies water here. A break in the street or at the meter is theirs to fix; pipes after the meter are the owner’s.

  • Permits

    Repairs that touch plumbing, electrical or structure go through the LA Department of Building and Safety (LADBS).

  • Building Engineering

    Call building security or engineering first. They can shut off the riser or sprinkler zone.

  • Condo Insurance

    The HOA master policy usually covers common elements; your HO-6 policy covers your unit’s interior and belongings.

  • Loft Materials

    Concrete floors and exposed brick hold water longer than drywall. They need longer drying and careful readings.

  • ZIP Codes

    90012, 90013, 90014, 90015, 90017, 90021, 90071

Common Questions in Downtown LA

A sprinkler head went off in my unit. What now?

Building engineering shuts off the zone. Sprinkler water has usually been sitting in the pipes and is dirty, so we treat it as contaminated, extract it and dry your unit and any units below.

Can you work in a high-rise with loading dock rules?

Yes. We follow building rules for elevators, loading docks and work hours. Share them when you call.

Do you handle office suites downtown?

Yes. We can work after hours to keep your business running.
