Los Altos work

What we are called for

Three causes behind most Los Altos call-outs

Water damage is not randomly distributed. What fails in a given area is decided by when it was built, what it was built on and what the weather does to it — and in Los Altos that produces a recognisable short list.

1. 1

   Creek corridors crossing residential ground

   Adobe Creek and the drainages around it run through neighbourhoods rather than around them. In a heavy storm the properties nearest take outside water at ground level, which is contaminated handling from the first minute.

2. 2

   Mid-century ranches on slab with original runs

   The 1950s and 1960s stock on generous lots carries supply lines cast into the slab. The failure mode is the familiar one — invisible, sideways under concrete, and discovered by bill, meter or a warm strip of floor.

3. 3

   Large-lot irrigation reaching foundations

   The mature landscaping these lots are known for runs extensive buried irrigation. A break follows the trench toward the house rather than surfacing, and reads inside as a damp wall with no plumbing behind it.

Honest pricing

What it costs in Los Altos

  Low risk if dried quickly

  $7 – $7.50 / sq ft

  High — pathogens; PPE and containment required

Most complete jobs land between $1,384 and $6,387, averaging $3,867. We bill carriers directly for covered work — what California policies actually cover explains where that line falls.
