Water Damage Restoration in Culver City, CA

Ballona Creek cuts straight through Culver City on its way to Santa Monica Bay. It is a nine-mile concrete channel that drains about 130 square miles of the Westside, and when it runs full, the storm drains that feed it cannot empty. In February 2024 that is exactly what happened in Sunkist Park: the drain at McDonald Street started pushing water back up, the street filled to the top of the curb, and driveways and lawns started to go under. The same storm sent mud sliding in Culver Crest, the hillside neighborhood developed in the 1950s above the flats.

The rest of the city is older and lower. Park West and the blocks near downtown are lined with 1940s bungalows and Spanish-style houses, roughly a quarter of the city's homes were built before 1950, and their plumbing and roofs show it.

This site connects Culver City homeowners with an independent restoration provider on the Westside. You make one call and the provider handles the rest.

The jobs Culver City generates

When a storm drain surcharges into a garage or a sunken living room, that is flood cleanup, and the water is treated as contaminated because it came off the street. A sewer backup in a 1940s house on a clay lateral is sewage cleanup, with removal of what the water touched. After either one, structural drying is what keeps a wet bungalow from becoming a moldy one.

Golden State Water and the Building Safety Division

Culver City does not run its own water system. Service comes from the Golden State Water Company Culver City system, which takes emergency calls at 800-999-4033 around the clock. A main break, a meter that will not close, or water coming up in the street is their job; the valve at the house is yours.

Permits for repairs and rebuilds go through the Culver City Building Safety Division at 9770 Culver Boulevard, reachable at (310) 253-5802. The city's list of permit-required work includes repairs, plumbing, and electrical, so a provider should be able to tell you which line items on the estimate need a permit and which do not.
