SOS Restoration of Long Beach covers Lakewood, from the Center out to the river. We take the water out, then put the rooms back. The crew speaks both languages, and the first walk-through is free. Most homes here predate 1960. Call (657) 660-4185.

Lakewood went up almost all at once, and that still shows in the walls. A slow drip goes to a plumber first; we read the wall it touched.
Because a whole city of slabs turned sixty at the same time.
The original tract was 17,500 houses on 3,450 acres, finished in under three years. That is one house every seven and a half minutes. The median Lakewood home dates to 1957, so the copper and the slab wore out together.
No, and the record is almost comically one-sided.
Across the whole history of the federal flood program, ten claims have ever been filed here. That is all three Lakewood ZIP codes combined. The water that reaches us comes from a pipe, which makes the failed line the whole story.
Depends which side of the river you are on.
Lakewood is split at the San Gabriel River. The City of Lakewood serves the west; Golden State Water serves the east, out toward 90715. Either way, shutting the water off and fixing what it ruined are separate jobs, and ours is the second.
Ask before anyone cuts, because Lakewood contracts its building out.
Lakewood has been a contract city since 1954. Permits are priced off Los Angeles County Public Works, plus an eighteen percent city charge. Plumbing, sewer and re-roof work each pull their own. We pull what the rebuild needs.
All six, and the tract slab runs through most of them.
A 1950s slab often has no vapor barrier under it.
Ground moisture wicks up through bare concrete and shows at the base of a wall. It reads like a slow leak and behaves like one. We meter the slab to tell wicking apart from a broken line before anything opens.
We do. The crew that dried it is the crew that rebuilds it.
No handoff to a contractor you have never met. IICRC #70194273 governs the drying. CSLB #1131134 covers the rebuild. One outfit runs both ends.
The same trucks head next door to Bellflower and Cerritos. The rate card runs one page. Ask the dispatcher what your street needs.
Lakewood sits directly north of Long Beach, on our own city line; Bellflower and Cerritos came out of the same years, and a crew loaded for one is loaded for all three.
The number is the part that matters. The rest just tells us which crew to send and how far up the road they are going.
A Lakewood slab hides water well, so call at the first sign.
