Quick answer

Fire season, then rain season
Santa Ana winds push fires through the hills in the fall. Homes that survive are often full of smoke and fine ash. A few months later, winter storms bring water through roofs, windows and hillside drainage.
Both kinds of job start the same way for us: document every room before anything is cleaned or removed, then clean or dry in the right order so the damage does not spread further.

The Mountain Fire and the 2024 storms
The Mountain Fire started on November 6, 2024 and, driven by Santa Ana winds, burned nearly 20,000 acres and destroyed 370 structures, with Camarillo and Moorpark hardest hit. Earlier that year, after the January 2024 storms, the governor declared a state of emergency in Ventura County along with San Diego County. Homes near the burn area needed smoke and ash cleaning. Homes in the storm needed roofs tarped and walls dried.

How a Ventura County job runs
Call with your address and describe what happened: fire, smoke, storm water or a leak. Dispatch confirms coverage and an arrival window before the crew leaves Los Angeles.
For smoke and ash, we photograph each room, keep the HVAC off, and clean from the top of the room down with HEPA vacuums and dry sponges before any wet cleaning. For water, we extract, map moisture and dry to a logged reading.
