Fire Damage Restoration
Fire jobs where soot and firefighting water both need handling.
Fire damage restorationPomona service
Pomona has a lot of older houses, and the calls here are often two problems at once: a fire that also leaves water damage, or an old pipe that finally gives out.
24/7 emergency line
(323) 709-0141Quick answer
We handle water damage, fire and smoke cleanup, and mold in Pomona homes. Crews come from our Downtown Los Angeles office at any hour. After a house fire, the water used to put it out is often as damaging as the smoke. So we dry the structure and clean the soot in the same job.
Pomona
After a house fire, firefighters put a lot of water into a home. That water soaks drywall, insulation and floors in rooms the fire never reached. It needs drying just as urgently as the soot needs cleaning.
In older Pomona houses, many with raised floors over crawl spaces, a pipe failure can also run under the house for a while before anyone notices the floor going soft.
Pomona
On March 14, 2024, county firefighters answered a house fire in Pomona that started in a single bedroom. The one-story home was declared uninhabitable because of fire, smoke and water damage together. That is typical of house fires: one room burns, but smoke reaches every room and water from the hoses soaks floors and walls well beyond the fire. So the job is drying and cleaning at the same time.

Board-up after a fireHow it works here
Call and tell the dispatcher whether it is water, fire or both. After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the house before going back in, and do not run the heating or air.
The crew boards up openings, extracts firefighting water, removes soaked materials, dries the structure and cleans soot from the ceiling down, keeping photos and readings for the claim.
