Half the homes around Beverly Hills were built before this year

That's drier than 59% of the 30,291 places we track. Low totals can fool you. Roofs and drains get little practice here, so problems tend to show up all at once in the one big storm.

MAY
On average, the most rain and snow falls in May

Check your drains and the slope around the house ahead of May. It takes an afternoon, and it can save a lot of drying later.

Ice and winter storms lead the list here. Pipes freeze and split, and you often don't know until the thaw, when the water starts running. That leaves out 3 for causes such as fire or the pandemic.

Before anyone arrives

The first hour after a leak in Beverly Hills

These are the steps that help most before anyone gets there. Do what you safely can.

  1. Shut off the water

    Look for the main valve near the meter or where the line comes into the house, and turn it slowly, since older valves can stick. If it's one fixture, its own shutoff valve will do.

  2. Stay clear of the power

    If you can reach the breaker panel without stepping in water, switch off the wet rooms. If you can't, leave it alone, stay out of the water and tell us when you call.

  3. Take pictures first

    Before you clean up, photograph the water, where it came from and whatever it damaged. Your insurance company will ask, and you only get one chance at those shots.

  4. Rescue what you can

    Move rugs, papers, photos and electronics to a dry room, and prop furniture up off the wet floor. Everything else can wait.

  5. Let the air move

    If the water is clean and the power's safe, open interior doors and run the fans you have. Stay out if it's sewage or floodwater, and keep that air away from the rest of the house.

The clock on mold is roughly 24 to 48 hours, which is why we'd rather hear from you early.

Typical build year

The usual weak spots in Beverly Hills homes

A lot of plumbing from these years has reached the end of its life. Galvanized steel narrows from the inside as it rusts, so weak water pressure can be a warning, not just an annoyance. Cast iron drains can crack, and fittings where old meets new are often the first thing to go.

Have a look under the kitchen and bathroom sinks and around the water heater. Any rust, drips or green staining is worth having a plumber check before it turns into a call to us.

Why water behaves differently in Beverly Hills

Weather

Spring storms here don't mess around. Hail cracks shingles and skylights, and the rain can come faster than the gutters can take it. You might not see the leak until days later, on a ceiling two rooms away from the actual damage. A hard freeze is rarer, but when one lasts a day or two it splits pipes that were never protected for it.

Buildings

A lot of homes here are built on slabs, with brick veneer over wood framing. Water that gets behind the brick can wet the studs and insulation without showing inside. Older neighborhoods still have pier-and-beam houses, where moisture collects in the crawlspace. Attic water heaters and air conditioning units add another risk, because a clogged condensate line drains straight through your ceiling.

Ground

Clay soil swells when it's wet and shrinks when it's dry. Over the years, that movement can crack a slab and the pipes beneath it. It also sheds hard rain instead of soaking it up, and that water has to go somewhere, often toward your garage or back door.

Drying

A leak under a slab needs its own approach. Specialists use acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to find the break without jackhammering the whole floor, and then dry the flooring and the bottom of the walls around it.

When you call

What to expect once you've called from Beverly Hills

The call itself is short. Tell us your address in Beverly Hills, what got wet and if it's still coming in. We'll connect you with a restoration specialist from our network who covers McLennan County, and they'll tell you what they can do and when. It doesn't matter if it's a house, a rental or a business.

Before any equipment goes in, the specialist needs to know two things: how far the water got, and how dirty it is. Thermal cameras and moisture meters answer the first. For the second, there are three answers: Category 1, clean water, Category 2, dirty water, or Category 3, sewage and floodwater. With Category 3, plastic containment goes up and negative air machines with HEPA filters keep your house's air clean.

Expect the drying to take longer than the cleanup. After a truck-mounted or portable unit has pulled out the standing water, air movers and LGR (low grain refrigerant) dehumidifiers run around the clock. Desiccant units get swapped in for cold rooms and dense materials. The specialist takes psychrometric readings each day, tracking temperature and humidity to see how fast the air is taking up water.

So how do you know it's done? It's done when the numbers say so. A dry baseline from untouched materials in your house is the target, and each wet area has to reach it before the equipment leaves. It follows the IICRC S500 standard, and you get a record of the readings for your insurance claim.

What you can save and what has to go in Beverly Hills

Most people expect to lose more than they do. Carpet that's only had clean water on it can usually be dried, though the pad underneath gets replaced. Drying mats can bring cupped hardwood back, given time. Walls often need only a flood cut, where the bottom of the drywall comes off and new board goes in.

Contaminated water is where the rules get strict. Sewage or floodwater means the carpet and pad come out, along with wet insulation, and what's left gets an antimicrobial treatment. It's also not safe to relight a gas appliance that's been underwater until someone's checked it, and a soft floor needs a look before anyone stands on it.

Questions we hear from Beverly Hills

How fast can someone get to me in Beverly Hills?

It depends on the time and the weather, but same-day help is what we aim for, and it's often a matter of hours. The local specialist will give you a time on the phone, so you're not left guessing.

Can I clean up water damage myself?

A small spill of clean water on a hard floor? Sure. Towels and a fan will do it. But if the water's in the walls, the carpet pad or the subfloor, or it came from a sewer or a flood, you'll want it extracted and properly dried. What you can't see is what keeps causing damage.

How long does it take to dry out a house?

It depends on how much got wet and for how long. A fresh leak in one room could be dry in a couple of days, while a soaked floor and walls may need a week. You'll see daily readings, so you'll know how it's going.

Can wet hardwood floors and carpet be saved?

Quite often. Floor mats and steady air can save hardwood that would otherwise be torn out, so tell the specialist about it first thing. With carpet, it all depends on the water: clean means dry it and replace the pad, sewage or floodwater means it comes out.

Will my insurance pay for water damage?

Many water losses are covered, so it's worth checking. The usual line is sudden versus gradual: a burst supply line is generally covered, and a slow drip often isn't. Flood damage needs a separate flood policy, and a sewer backup may need an extra rider.
