Quick answer
We clean smoke and ash out of Pacific Palisades homes that survived the fire, handle water and mud damage from storms off the burned slopes, and pack out and clean contents. Crews come from our Little Tokyo office at any hour. Access depends on road and construction restrictions. So dispatch confirms the route when you call.

Standing homes need cleaning too
A house that was not burned can still be full of fine ash and smoke residue, in every room, closet, duct and soft surface. Cleaning has to run in order: dry removal with HEPA vacuums first, then wet cleaning, then the ducts and air handler, then odor treatment.
With so much bare hillside above the neighborhood, winter storms also bring mud and runoff toward homes, often while the house next door is still a construction site.

After the Palisades Fire
The January 7, 2025 Palisades Fire burned 23,448 acres and destroyed 6,837 structures, with 973 more damaged. The first ground-up rebuild in Pacific Palisades received its certificate of occupancy in mid-November 2025 after about six months of construction, and empty lots and homes under construction still lined the streets in January 2026. Standing homes next to that construction pick up dust and ash again. So cleaning is often done in stages.

How a Pacific Palisades call runs
Call with your address and tell the dispatcher what you are dealing with. Road and construction access changes. So dispatch confirms the route before the crew leaves, and keep the heating and air off until the ducts are cleaned.
Smoke jobs start with photos of every room and HEPA vacuuming from the ceiling down. Mud and water jobs start with removing debris and contaminated materials, then drying to logged readings.
