Fire and Flood Restoration in PLAYA DEL REY, California is the combined trade of putting a structure back together after a fire and after the water used to knock that fire down. The work runs in one sequence: secure the property, remove charred framing and smoke-soaked insulation, extract standing water, dry the framing to IICRC WRT standards, then seal and rebuild. Skip the water half and mold growth after fire shows up in 48 to 72 hours.
Most calls we take here start the same way. A kitchen fire on Napoleon Street gets knocked down in ten minutes, then 400 to 900 gallons of water sits in the subfloor and the unit below. If you are searching for fire and water damage repair near me PLAYA DEL REY California at 2 a.m., that is the scenario. We treat the flood and the fire as one job, not two invoices from two companies.
The core scope covers everything from the first board-up to the final coat of paint on a fire loss with suppression water. Contents packing, furniture refinishing, and full HVAC replacement are quoted separately once we see the system.
We secure windows, doors, and roof openings before weather or theft gets in. This happens on the first visit, usually within 60 to 90 minutes of your call.
Truck-mount extraction pulls standing water, then air scrubbers, negative air machines, and Dri-Eaz drying equipment bring the framing to a documented dry baseline over 3 to 5 days.
Charred framing, smoke-soaked insulation, and unsalvageable drywall come out. Surfaces get HEPA-vacuumed and sealed with encapsulant so soot residue does not bleed through new finish.
Hydroxyl generators, ozone generators, and thermal fogging solution reach cavities and ductwork. We verify by walk-through before the job closes.
Framing, drywall, insulation, fire-rated caulk, paint, and trim go back in under our B-1 license. We test repaired circuits before hand-back.
You call (833) 929-6186 and we ask three things: address, is the power off, and is there standing water. We dispatch a crew with extraction gear and board-up materials. Typical arrival in PLAYA DEL REY is 60 to 90 minutes, day or night.
We tarp the roof, board windows, and shut the gas if it is still live. Then we walk the structure with thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters, marking wet drywall, charred framing, and smoke-damaged HVAC runs on a sketch you get a copy of.
Truck-mount extraction pulls standing water, then we set negative air machines and air scrubbers with HEPA filters. Drying usually runs 3 to 5 days. We check moisture readings daily and do not pull equipment until the framing reads dry against the baseline.
Charred lumber, smoke-soaked insulation, and unsalvageable drywall come out. We HEPA-vacuum surfaces, seal charred framing with encapsulant, and run hydroxyl generators or thermal fogging to clear odor from cavities and ductwork. This stage takes 2 to 4 days.
Framing, drywall, insulation, paint, and trim go back in under our B-1 license. Before we hand back the keys we walk the job with you, test every repaired circuit, and confirm no smoke odor remains in the closets or the HVAC supply registers.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Find wet framing and hidden char behind drywall without tearing open every wall. We map the moisture before demolition so the scope is accurate.
Pull smoke particles and mold spores out of the air and keep the work zone under negative pressure so the rest of the house stays clean.
Neutralize odor in cavities and ductwork. Hydroxyl units run in occupied-adjacent spaces; ozone is used only in sealed, unoccupied rooms.
Bring framing and subfloor to a documented dry baseline. We log readings daily and do not pull equipment early.
Meter readings set the dry standard; HEPA vacuums capture fine soot and ash before it settles back onto cleaned surfaces.
A pan fire caught the upper cabinets and the suppression line left about 600 gallons of water in the subfloor and the unit below. Soot coated the hallway and the HVAC return pulled smoke into two bedrooms.
We extracted the water, dried the subfloor and ceiling cavity over four days, removed the charred cabinet run, sealed the framing, and rebuilt the kitchen. The unit below read dry on day five, and the bedrooms were deodorized before paint.
An attic fire soaked the insulation and roof decking with water and smoke. The upper-floor bedrooms smelled of smoke even after the visible char was removed.
We removed the saturated insulation, dried the framing, replaced the charred decking, and cleaned the HVAC return. Moisture readings confirmed dry framing before the drywall was closed, and the upstairs odor was gone at walk-through.
An electrical fire in a back office sent soot through the HVAC and shut the whole floor. The business had no way to keep operating while the suite was rebuilt.
We isolated the damaged suite, cleaned the ductwork, sealed the char, and rebuilt the office while the rest of the floor stayed open. The full floor was back in service in about three weeks.
Most of the damage we see is not from the flames. It is from the water, the soot, and the delay. Here are the four problems that come up on nearly every job and how we close them out.
Ask a pro →We locate the source with thermal imaging, clean or remove the affected material, and run hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging to clear the cavities. Odor is verified by walk-through before we close the job.
Our WRT-certified crews extract the same day, set drying equipment, and log moisture readings daily. We do not start the rebuild until the framing reads dry against the baseline.
We photograph every room, meter-log the moisture, and itemize demolition and rebuild separately. Your adjuster gets one clean file, which is how claims move.
We open the wall, remove char that fails code, sister what can be saved, and coordinate the electrical scope before new drywall goes up. The rebuild is code-correct, not just painted over.
Most residential jobs run $3,500 to $18,000 in 2026 pricing, with a kitchen fire and water cleanup landing near the low end and a full structural rebuild near the top. Cost is driven by square footage affected, how much framing comes out, and whether the HVAC system needs cleaning. Insurance usually covers the bulk of it.
We do, and we are based here rather than dispatching from a call center. Our crews hold IICRC WRT and FSRT credentials and carry the California State Contractor License (B-1 General Building) for the rebuild. Call (833) 929-6186 and a lead tech, not a receptionist, will call you back.
Yes, and it should be. The water from firefighting has to be extracted and the structure dried before new drywall goes up, or mold growth after fire starts behind the finish. We run one sequence: board-up, extract, dry, remove char, deodorize, rebuild. One crew, one schedule, one insurance file.
A contained kitchen or bedroom fire with limited water typically takes 10 to 14 days from board-up to final paint. Structural fire damage with roof or framing loss runs 3 to 6 weeks. Drying alone takes 3 to 5 days, and we do not start the rebuild until moisture readings confirm the framing is dry.
Smoke Damage RestorationSmoke travels through wall cavities and ductwork far past the burn zone. We seal and deodorize those paths so smoke odor lingering in bedrooms and closets does not come back after the paint dries.Explore →
Fire Damage Clean UpChar removal, soot residue on walls, and debris hauling are the first physical step on any fire loss in PLAYA DEL REY. We clear the structure so drying and rebuild can start without a second crew.Explore →
Emergency Fire Damage RestorationWhen the fire department has just left and the roof is open, we board up, tarp, and shut utilities within 60 to 90 minutes so the structure is not exposed to weather or theft overnight.Explore →
Structural Repair After FireCharred framing, fire-damaged roofing, and compromised load paths get rebuilt under our B-1 license. We replace what fails code and sister what can be saved, then finish the drywall and trim.Explore →
Odor Removal After FireWe use hydroxyl generators, ozone generators, and thermal fogging solution to reach cavities and HVAC returns. Odor is verified by walk-through before we close the job, not assumed gone.Explore →
Soot RemovalSoot is acidic and etches metal and finished surfaces within days. Our techs HEPA-vacuum, use chemical sponges, and seal charred framing with encapsulant to stop the residue from bleeding through new paint.Explore →
Smoke RemediationSmoke-damaged HVAC, insulation, and lumber hold odor long after surfaces look clean. We clean or replace affected materials and run air scrubbers with charcoal filters to pull residual particles out of the air.Explore →
