Professional Water Damage Restoration

We have certified technicians for the many aspects of water damage restoration, ready for anything from a wet carpet to being hit by a La Crescenta flood.  Here is a brief summary of our many services and specialties.

• Flood debris removal (IICRC Category 3) clears out flood debris and building items that should be immediately discarded.  A ground water source poses health hazards and requires more thorough disinfection, but does not pose extensive risks.  But any sewage contamination requires the expertise and services of our microbial remediation specialists.
• Water extraction speeds surface drying through the use of our advanced truck-mounted vacuum equipment that’s up to twice as effective as portable machines or truck-mounted carpet cleaners.
• Structural dry out is then necessary to actively pull out excess moisture from deep within the building.  We use powerful blowers, but that’s not enough.  We’ll also set up refrigerant dehumidifiers and restoration-industry-specific spot heaters.  With frequent monitoring of the actual moisture levels of building materials (not just air humidity) lets us make adjustments to complete building drying as quickly as possible, and not stop until everything’s safe again.
• Cleaning and repairs then complete the job, leaving everything safe, healthy, and in pre-loss condition.

Sewage Damage Clean Up

A sewage backup (or overflowing toilet with feces) calls for worker protection along with the utmost in cleaning and sanitization.  Even before cleanup begins harmful bacteria and viruses become airborne so we start by isolating the affected areas.  Then our clean up crews and microbial specialists go to work, attending to details most people never even think of.  Anything that’s come into direct contact with sewage and can’t be heat-sterilized must be discarded along with all wastes using La Crescenta regulated transportation and disposal procedures

Odor and Mold Removal

Even without sewage or ground water, properties often end up with odors from bacteria and mold.  Those smells can last a long time even after their source is killed, so our services include neutralizing them with thermal foggers and ozone generators.  These make vapors that get past surfaces we can clean and into the inner structure.  There they safely break down odor compounds before quickly dissipating.

Except for bathroom tile and small areas, the EPA urges that mold remediation only be performed by contractors licensed for mold restoration, such as those at Regal (https://www.epa.gov/mold/mold-cleanup-your-home).  That’s because of how easily spores can be spread and the potential for extremely serious health risks.  Not all toxic molds are black, so we begin with testing and inspections to determine the nature and scope of your problem.  Mold doesn’t need light to grow, so the bulk of an outbreak could be completely hidden.  As per guidelines and regulations our crews will isolate the work area, setup negative-pressure exhausts and HEPA air scrubbers, and then proceed with actual removal using industry best-practices.  We’ll next decontaminate the work area along with the rest of the building and properly dispose of all materials as hazardous waste.

Water Damage Repair

With direct physical damage, water-caused deterioration, and bacterial and mold contamination, it’s likely that building materials will have to be replaced.  And in a significant disaster portions of the building may have to be demolished and reconstructed.  Our La Crescenta crews have the skills and experience you need for whatever you need — carpentry, cabinetry, doors and windows, electrical, flooring, plumbing, roofing….  When finished everything looks great, often better than before your catastrophe.  And we won’t leave you with a mess.  We’ll clean up and take care of haul away.
