Water damage restoration and mitigation in Santa Monica for hidden leaks
We serve Santa Monica and the rest of the Westside and Malibu area from Reseda and West Hills. For Santa Monica homes and rentals we handle leak source tracing, water extraction, structural drying and the paperwork for your insurer.
Not every leak makes a puddle. In a Santa Monica home, the first clue might be a musty closet, paint that bubbles near a baseboard, or wood floorboards that start to cup. Each of those can mean water is getting in somewhere out of sight.
Finding water you cannot see
We follow the signs back to the cause with moisture meters, checking the wall cavity, the subfloor and the plumbing nearby. A slow drip from a shower valve, a drain line or a window frame can soak framing for a long stretch before it shows. Once we know the cause, it gets fixed, either by your plumber or through us. Then only the wet material is opened and removed, inside containment, and the space is dried until the readings match the dry areas around it.

Reviews
What customers say
Field rep came at my house, on time, very professional, reviewed all conditions for the smell that we suspected water damage and potential mold. Need to highlight he didn't try to sell, sell, sell, but he was 100% honest and straight forward telling us what we should do and if we should do. Anyone else would have probably exaggerated in order to gain more business. Highly recommended

Limor G. · Aug 2026 View on YelpWe discovered a leak from a recent constructed bathroom. After contacting Yostin water damage they came with in few hours and were right on it. They explained the process and everything was clear. They contained the wet area removed all damaged drywall, insulation, floors and kept their machines for few days till evrything was dry and ready to be reconstructed.

Negin A. · Jul 2026 View on YelpWe had water come in from outside and make its way under our staircase, damaging the flooring and surrounding area. We got a few estimates, but Omri was by far the most thorough. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, was honest about what needed to be done, and his pricing was very reasonable. From the moment the crew arrived and carefully protected our home, you could tell they take pride in their work. The whole experience was smooth and professional. I highly recommend Omri and Yostin Water Damage & Restoration!

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
We look for the cause before removing anything. Meters and a careful look at nearby plumbing, drains and windows tell us where the water is getting in, and that decides how much needs to be opened up.
Yes. Yostin works with all major insurance carriers. With a slow leak, your adjuster may want to see the cause itself, so we photograph it along with the damage and the readings. Your insurance carrier decides how the policy applies.
