Commercial Restoration and Waterproofing in Los Angeles

Absolute Maintenance & Consulting provides commercial restoration services for property managers, HOA boards and building owners in West Los Angeles, Culver City and across the Westside. We restore water, mold and fire damage in apartment buildings, condo buildings and offices, and we find and repair the leaks that caused it. One licensed contractor handles the job from investigation to rebuild.

We offer five commercial services, each planned for buildings that stay occupied while we work.

Commercial Water Damage Restoration

Our commercial water damage restoration service removes water, dries the structure and rebuilds offices, apartment buildings and condo buildings after leaks, floods and storms. Each affected unit gets its own moisture record, which shows owners and insurers what was wet and when it dried.

Commercial Mold Remediation

Our commercial mold remediation team removes mold from occupied buildings and corrects the moisture source that fed it. Containment keeps mold out of neighboring units and common areas while we work. The owner or board gets the cause in writing.

Commercial Leak Detection and Water Intrusion

Our commercial leak detection and water intrusion service traces water across units and floors to the point where it enters the building, then repairs it. The tools are thermal imaging, moisture mapping, forensic leak detection and ASTM E1105 water testing.

Commercial Waterproofing

Commercial waterproofing protects the roofs, decks, balconies, stucco walls, foundations and below-grade spaces of multi-unit and commercial buildings. We waterproof only after any active leak is found and fixed. Otherwise the new system seals the water in.

Commercial Fire Damage Restoration

Our commercial fire damage restoration service cleans up smoke and soot and dries out the water used to put the fire out. That water tends to soak the units below and beside the fire. We check each one and document what we find.

Our commercial restoration process has four steps: inspect every affected space, find the source, repair the entry point, then dry, restore and waterproof.

1. Inspection of Every Affected Space

We inspect every affected unit and common area, not just the one that reported the leak. Larger buildings get our Multi-Unit / Larger Property Inspection, which isn’t credited toward the work.

2. Finding and Documenting the Source

We trace the water to where it enters the building and put our findings in writing. When the cause is disputed, forensic leak detection or ASTM E1105 water testing can confirm it.

3. Repairing the Entry Point

We repair the roof, window, wall, balcony or foundation that let the water in, before any drywall goes back up.

4. Drying, Restoration and Waterproofing

We dry each space until moisture readings are back to normal, rebuild what couldn’t be saved and waterproof the weak spots so the leak doesn’t return.

At Absolute Maintenance & Consulting, a Multi-Unit / Larger Property Inspection costs $975 to $1,500, and commercial mold, weatherproofing and waterproofing projects run from $3,000 to $150,000 or more, depending on size.

Mold, weatherproofing and waterproofing projects are priced by size:

• Medium project (3,000 to 10,000 sq. ft.): $3,000 to $10,000
• Large project (10,000 to 50,000 sq. ft.): $10,000 to $50,000
• Large waterproofing project: $50,000 to $150,000+

Water testing isn’t included in inspection prices. When we do the work, the fee for a Basic or Detailed Inspection is credited toward the cost of the work. Multi-Unit / Larger Property Inspection fees and water testing fees are not credited. Water damage and fire damage restoration have no set price: the cost depends on the scope and comes in a written estimate after the inspection.

We keep a written record of every commercial job, from the first moisture reading to the final dry check, so owners, HOA boards and insurers can see what caused the damage and what was fixed. When a leak crosses units, the record shows where the water entered. That matters in a condo building, where the governing documents usually split repair duties between common areas and individual units. Where the water got in is the first fact a board needs to settle who pays.

Insurance adjusters, public adjusters and attorneys use our forensic leak detection reports and ASTM E1105 test results.

Absolute Maintenance & Consulting handles commercial jobs from investigation through repair as one licensed, certified contractor with more than 30 years in business. That’s one company on the job, not three pointing at each other across the same units.

We Find the Source First

We find where water is getting in before we dry or rebuild anything. On a multi-unit building, that means one unit’s repair doesn’t hide a problem in the next.

Published Prices and an Inspection Credit

We publish our prices, so a board or owner can budget before the first visit. When we do the work, the fee for a Basic or Detailed Inspection is credited toward it.

Large-Project Experience

Our work includes a $1.2 million project at San Francisco State University. Our founder, Cameron Figgins, has more than 30 years of hands-on experience and specializes in identifying complex water intrusion issues.

We serve commercial property in West Los Angeles, Culver City, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Venice, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood and Bel Air. Our West Los Angeles and Culver City pages cover local building types, and areas we serve lists the rest.
