Ash cleanup after a fireThousand Oaks service
Thousand Oaks homes back onto open hillsides. So fire season and the storm season after it shape a lot of what we do here, alongside the usual household leaks.

Thousand Oaks
Many Thousand Oaks neighborhoods run right up to brush-covered open space. When a fire burns nearby, standing homes fill with ash and smoke residue, and when the first big storms come, burned slopes can send mud toward yards, pools and lower walls.
Between those seasons, the calls are the familiar ones: water heaters in garages, slab leaks in single-story homes and slow leaks under sinks that turn into mold.
Thousand Oaks
The Woolsey Fire burned from November 8 to 21, 2018, across 96,949 acres of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. It destroyed 1,643 structures, damaged 364 more and reached parts of Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village and Oak Park. Within days, both counties put sandbags out at fire stations because of the mud and debris-flow risk from the burned slopes, the same two-step pattern Thousand Oaks homeowners still plan for.

Mold in damp roomsHow it works here
Call with your address and say whether it is smoke, mud or water. After a fire, keep the heating and air off until the ducts are cleaned. In a storm, stay away from walls with mud pushing against them.
Smoke jobs start with photos and HEPA vacuuming from the ceiling down. Mud and water jobs start with removing debris and contaminated materials, then drying to a logged reading.
