Fire and Flood Restoration in PALOS VERDES PENINSULA, California is the trade of putting a house back together after fire, smoke, and the thousands of gallons of water firefighters leave behind. It starts with a thermal imaging camera to find hidden moisture inside walls, then moves to extraction, soot removal with dry-chem sponges, and char-blocking primer on every scorched stud. We set air scrubbers and hydroxyl generators to kill smoke odor at the molecular level, not just mask it.
Most calls we run in Palos Verdes Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes start with a kitchen fire or an electrical fire that cooked a wall cavity before the breaker tripped. The fire is out, but the water damage from firefighting soaks insulation and lumber, and mold can colonize wet drywall in 24 to 48 hours. That is why fire and water damage restoration PALOS VERDES PENINSULA California crews move fast, and why our 24/7 fire and water damage restoration PALOS VERDES PENINSULA line stays open every night of the year.
Every job starts with emergency response and damage assessment, then moves through water extraction, drying, soot removal, odor treatment, and the rebuild. The scope covers structural drying, smoke remediation, and the drywall, insulation, paint, and roofing repair needed to make the house whole. Contents cleaning and furniture restoration are quoted separately once we see what can be saved.
We secure broken windows, doors, and roof openings the same night so rain, wind, and theft cannot add a second loss to your claim. Board-up materials stay in place until the rebuild starts.
Truck-mounted extractors pull standing water, then dehumidifiers and air movers dry wall cavities, subfloor, and framing. We log moisture meter readings daily and do not close up until the structure reads dry.
Walls, ceilings, and cabinets get HEPA-vacuumed and dry-sponged to remove acidic soot before it etches finishes. Charred framing is sealed with char-blocking primer so residue cannot bleed through new paint.
Hydroxyl generators and a smoke odor counteractant fogger treat the air and surfaces, and ductwork is cleaned and sealed. The goal is to remove the odor source, not cover it with fragrance.
We replace drywall, insulation, paint and primer, and roofing shingles as the scope requires, then walk the finished rooms with you. The job closes when the moisture meter reads dry and the repair matches the original.
We answer the phone 24/7 and roll a crew to your address, usually within 60 to 90 minutes across the Peninsula. The first job is safety: we shut off gas and power if needed, board broken windows, and tarp the roof so rain cannot add a second water damage problem.
A project manager walks every room with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera, mapping wet drywall, soaked insulation, and smoke travel through the HVAC system. You get photos, moisture readings, and a written scope within 24 hours, which is the document your insurance adjuster needs.
Truck-mounted extractors pull standing water from carpet and subfloor, then we set dehumidifiers and air movers to dry structural cavities. Drying typically runs three to five days, and we log moisture readings each day so you can see the numbers drop.
Technicians HEPA-vacuum ceilings and walls, wipe surfaces with dry-chem sponges, and seal charred framing with char-blocking primer. Ductwork gets cleaned and sealed, and HVAC filters are replaced before the system runs again, so smoke residue does not recirculate through the house.
We replace drywall, insulation, paint and primer, and roofing shingles as needed, then walk the finished rooms with you. You sign off only when the moisture meter reads dry, the odor is gone, and every repaired surface matches the original.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Finds hidden moisture inside wall cavities and ceilings without tearing open every surface, so we dry the whole problem instead of the visible part.
Filters airborne soot and mold spores and keeps contaminated air from spreading into clean rooms during demolition and drying.
Neutralizes smoke odor at the molecular level in occupied and unoccupied spaces, reaching framing and furniture that wiping cannot treat.
Removes fine soot particles from walls, ceilings, and ducts before wet cleaning, which prevents the residue from smearing deeper into finishes.
Measures moisture content in drywall, lumber, and subfloor daily, and pulls that moisture out until the structure reads dry.
Delivers a fine mist that bonds with odor particles on surfaces and in the air, which is the final step after cleaning and filtration.
A grease fire spread from the range hood into the ceiling, and firefighters cut a vent hole and left about 400 gallons of water on the floor. Cabinets were coated in sticky soot, and the ceiling drywall was soaked and sagging.
We extracted the water, dried the subfloor and framing to below 14 percent moisture content, replaced the ceiling drywall and insulation, and degreased every cabinet surface. The kitchen was back in service in 19 days, with paint matched to the original.
An electrical fire in the attic burned through roof sheathing and soaked 300 square feet of insulation with smoke and water. The house smelled like charred wood every time the HVAC ran.
We removed the contaminated insulation, dried the framing, replaced 12 roofing shingles, cleaned and sealed the ductwork, and ran hydroxyl generators for 48 hours. The attic passed inspection and the odor test before the next rain.
A second-floor supply line failed overnight and ran for about six hours, soaking the ceiling below and saturating 200 square feet of carpet and drywall. Moisture readings in the framing hit 28 percent.
We extracted the water, cut out saturated drywall, set dehumidifiers and air movers, and dried the framing to 12 percent in four days. New drywall, paint, and trim went in, and the ceiling matched the original texture.
Most Peninsula fire losses come with a water problem attached. Firefighting water soaks insulation and subfloor, and smoke travels through ductwork into rooms the flames never touched. These are the problems we see most often.
Ask a pro →We locate the odor source with a thermal imaging camera, clean the ductwork, replace HVAC filters, and run hydroxyl generators until the air tests clean. A smoke odor counteractant fogger treats surfaces the vacuum cannot reach.
Technicians HEPA-vacuum the residue first, then wipe with dry-chem sponges using the correct direction for the surface. Charred framing gets char-blocking primer before any new paint goes on.
We extract standing water, set dehumidifiers and air movers, and dry structural cavities to below 16 percent moisture content. Daily moisture meter readings prove the structure is dry before we close it up.
We treat affected cavities with an antimicrobial, run air scrubbers with HEPA filtration, and remove porous materials that cannot be saved. The HVAC system gets cleaned and sealed so spores do not recirculate.
Most residential fire and flood restoration jobs in PALOS VERDES PENINSULA run $3,500 to $18,000, with whole-house rebuilds going higher. The biggest cost drivers are how much square footage was wet, whether the HVAC system needs cleaning, and how much drywall and insulation has to be replaced. We give you a written scope before demolition so you know the number up front.
We do, and we answer the phone 24/7. Our crews work out of the Peninsula and reach Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills, and Rancho Palos Verdes within 60 to 90 minutes. Call (833) 929-6186 and a project manager will be on site the same day to assess the damage and start drying.
Water extraction and drying usually take three to five days, soot and smoke removal adds two to four days, and the rebuild phase runs two to six weeks depending on how much drywall, cabinetry, and roofing has to be replaced. A kitchen fire with limited water damage often wraps in three weeks; a whole-house job can run eight to ten weeks.
Yes. We document moisture readings, photograph every affected room, and write an itemized scope that matches your policy language, then work directly with your adjuster. Most homeowners policies cover fire damage and the water damage from firefighting, so we build the claim file around both. You still approve the scope, but we handle the paperwork.
Smoke Damage RestorationSmoke travels through wall cavities and ductwork far from the flames. We use hydroxyl generators and HEPA filtration to pull smoke residue out of the structure so your rooms stop smelling like a fire.Explore →
Fire Damage Clean UpAfter the fire trucks leave, the cleanup starts. We remove charred debris, HEPA-vacuum soot from every surface, and haul away damaged furniture and materials so the rebuild can begin on a clean site.Explore →
Emergency Fire Damage RestorationWhen a fire leaves your roof open or a wall exposed, we board up, tarp over, and secure the structure the same night. That stops rain and theft from adding a second loss to your insurance claim.Explore →
Structural Repair After FireCharred framing, damaged roof sheathing, and cracked drywall get rebuilt to code. We probe the depth of char, replace only what fails, and match paint and primer so the repair disappears into the original finish.Explore →
Odor Removal After FireSmoke odor lives in framing, insulation, and upholstery. Our IICRC Odor Control Technician uses a smoke odor counteractant fogger and ozone treatment to neutralize the source instead of masking it with fragrance.Explore →
Soot RemovalSoot is acidic and etches metal, glass, and countertops within hours. We dry-sponge walls and ceilings, HEPA-vacuum every surface, and seal charred framing with char-blocking primer to stop the residue from bleeding through new paint.Explore →
Smoke RemediationSmoke residue settles into HVAC filters, ductwork, and attic insulation. We clean and seal ducts, replace filters, and treat the air path so the system does not blow smoke particles back into your living space.Explore →
