Costa Mesa water damage restoration often starts with knowing who to call first. In Costa Mesa, water and sewer are run by separate local agencies.
Mesa Water District serves most of Costa Mesa, along with parts of Newport Beach and nearby unincorporated areas, and says it provides 100% local groundwater. Some parts of the city are served by the Irvine Ranch Water District instead. Your water bill shows which one serves you. If water is coming up at the meter or the street, call that agency first.
Sewers in Costa Mesa are run by the Costa Mesa Sanitary District. The district states that "property owners are responsible for maintaining their sewer lateral," the private pipe that connects your home to the public sewer. It recommends hydroflushing the lateral to clear grease, roots and debris, and having a plumber record a camera inspection of its condition.
A sewage backup is the one leak you shouldn't clean up yourself. Sewage is Category 3 water, the most contaminated kind, and it soaks into anything porous it touches.
If sewage is coming up a tub, shower or toilet, stop using every drain in the house. Keep children and pets out of the area and don't walk through it without boots and gloves. A plumber clears the line. Our sewage backup cleanup work removes contaminated carpet, pad and drywall, disinfects every hard surface and dries what's left.
Costa Mesa incorporated in 1953 and grew fast after World War II. Many people who had trained at the Santa Ana Army Air Base came back with their families. The population nearly quintupled within three decades. That means many of the city's homes now have plumbing that's decades old.
Older galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside, and older supply lines under sinks and toilets wear out. When a line under the slab breaks, water spreads under the flooring and wicks into the bottom of the walls before anyone sees it. For burst pipe repair and slab leak cleanup, a plumber fixes the line and we dry everything the water reached.

A failing water heater can empty its tank and keep refilling until the supply is shut off. In a garage or hall closet, the water spreads across the floor and into the walls around it. Close the cold water valve on top of the tank first. California law also requires water heaters to be strapped against earthquakes, so check the straps when the heater is replaced.
Emergency water extraction →Water that comes in from outside, under a door during heavy rain or from a broken irrigation line, is treated as contaminated. Flood cleanup in Costa Mesa, CA follows the same steps as a sewage job: protective gear, removal of soaked porous materials and disinfection before drying starts.
When water sits in walls or under flooring for more than a day or two, mold can start. The EPA advises drying wet areas within 24 to 48 hours to prevent it. If you already see or smell mold, our mold remediation process contains the area, removes moldy materials and dries the source. Mold remediation in Costa Mesa follows the same steps.
Each service is available across Costa Mesa, 24 hours a day. You might need water damage repair in Costa Mesa after a small leak, or help after a flooded room. Either way, the goal is to find all of the water and dry it until the readings prove it's gone.

The property owner. The Costa Mesa Sanitary District states that "property owners are responsible for maintaining their sewer lateral," the private pipe from your home to the public sewer.

Turn the water off at the valve behind the toilet and stop flushing. If the water came from the bowl, treat it as contaminated and keep children and pets away. If more than one drain is backing up, the blockage is likely in the main line, so stop using all water and call a plumber.
