“Sewer backup damage is handled differently by most insurance policies than clean water damage. A policy with sewer/drain backup coverage typically has a separate sub-limit ($10K–25K) that's lower than the dwelling coverage limit. Know your sub-limits before you need them. If your policy has inadequate sewer backup coverage, add the endorsement — it costs $40–80/year.”

Pro Tip

Get the mold test report before accepting any mold remediation invoice. A licensed mold assessor produces a pre-remediation assessment report and a post-remediation clearance report. If your contractor is performing both the assessment and the remediation, they have a conflict of interest. Use an independent assessor for pre- and post-testing.

+What is the LADWP turf removal rebate?

LADWP pays up to $5 per square foot for removing grass and replacing with drought-tolerant landscaping. Minimum 250 sqft. Average LA front yard (800 sqft): $4,000 rebate. Must use approved plants or permeable hardscape. Application before removal is recommended. Processing: 4-8 weeks after installation verification.

+Are greywater systems legal in LA?

Yes. California plumbing code allows greywater systems (laundry-to-landscape) with a simple permit. Greywater from clothes washers can irrigate subsurface landscape areas without complex treatment. More comprehensive systems (shower, sink greywater) require additional permitting. Greywater reduces outdoor water use by 30-50%. Cost: $500-$3,000 for laundry-to-landscape.

+What drought-tolerant plants work best in LA?

Top drought-tolerant plants for LA: California natives (manzanita, sage, buckwheat, ceanothus), Mediterranean plants (lavender, rosemary, olive trees), succulents and agave, ornamental grasses (deer grass, blue fescue), and flowering perennials (salvia, lantana, penstemon). Native plants attract pollinators and require minimal irrigation after establishment (1-2 years).
