What's included
What Our Fire and Flood Restoration Includes
Every job is scoped to the specific loss, but these are the core services we bring to a fire and flood restoration in EAST IRVINE. Anything beyond this, like pool or landscape repair, is quoted separately after the structure is dry and safe.
Emergency Board-Up and Tarping
We secure windows, doors, and roof openings the same day we arrive. This stops weather intrusion, theft, and further water damage while the claim is being processed.
Water Extraction and Structural Drying
Truck-mounted extraction, air movers, and dehumidifiers run until framing hits dry standard. We log moisture meter readings daily and adjust equipment placement as the structure dries.
Soot and Smoke Residue Removal
HEPA vacuuming, chemical sponges, and surface cleaning matched to the residue type. Walls, ceilings, cabinets, and ductwork are all treated, not just the room where the fire started.
Odor Neutralization
Hydroxyl generators, ozone treatment, and thermal fogging to eliminate smoke odor at the source. We run equipment until the odor is gone, not just reduced.
Structural Rebuild and Repairs
Drywall, insulation, lumber and framing, roofing shingles, paint and primer, and trim. We pull permits where required and rebuild to current California residential code.
Insurance Claim Documentation
Full photo documentation, moisture maps, and an itemized Xactimate scope delivered within 24 hours. We communicate directly with your adjuster to keep the claim moving.
Service overview
What Fire and Flood Restoration in EAST IRVINE, California Covers
Fire and Flood Restoration in EAST IRVINE, California is the combined cleanup, drying, deodorization, and rebuild work that follows a fire and the water used to put it out. A typical job starts with board-up and roof tarping, then moves to water extraction, structural drying, soot removal, and odor treatment. We test moisture with a meter and thermal imaging camera before we ever close a wall, because trapped water behind drywall turns into mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Most EAST IRVINE calls we take are kitchen fires, attic fires from failed wiring, and sprinkler discharges in condos near Irvine Spectrum. A single sprinkler head can release 15 to 25 gallons per minute, which is why fire and water damage restoration EAST IRVINE California jobs almost always involve both trades. We pull wet insulation, dry the framing, and rebuild to California code so the unit passes inspection the first time.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
Our Fire and Flood Restoration Process
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Emergency Call
You call (833) 929-6186 and we ask three questions: address, is the power off, and is the structure safe to enter. We dispatch a crew, usually on site within 60 to 90 minutes for EAST IRVINE addresses. First priority is board-up, roof tarping, and shutting off any active water.
Damage Assessment
We walk the property with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera, map every wet zone, and photograph soot patterns for the claim file. You get a written scope in Xactimate format within 24 hours. This is the document your adjuster works from.
Water Extraction and Drying
Truck-mounted extractors pull standing water, then we set air movers and dehumidifiers. A typical room dries in 3 to 5 days. We log moisture readings every day and adjust equipment placement until the framing hits dry standard.
Soot, Smoke, and Odor Removal
HEPA vacuums pull loose soot off walls and ceilings, then we sponge-clean with 3M and Zep products matched to the residue type. Ductwork gets cleaned separately. Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging run 24 to 72 hours to kill lingering smoke odor.
Repairs and Rebuild
Drywall, insulation, paint and primer, roofing shingles, and trim go back in. We pull permits through the California Contractors State License Board process where required and walk the job with the inspector. Final walkthrough with you before we call it done.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Thermal Imaging Camera
Finds hidden moisture behind walls and under floors without cutting into the structure. We use it during the initial assessment and again before we close anything up.
Moisture Meter
Reads exact moisture content in framing, drywall, and subfloor. We log readings daily and do not stop drying until the structure hits dry standard.
Air Scrubber and HEPA Vacuum
Captures fine soot particles and airborne contaminants. HEPA vacuums pull loose soot off surfaces without smearing it deeper into the material.
Hydroxyl Generator and Ozone Generator
Neutralizes smoke odor at the molecular level. Hydroxyls are safe to run in occupied spaces; ozone is used in unoccupied areas during the final odor treatment phase.
Negative Air Machine
Creates negative pressure in the work zone so soot and dust do not migrate into clean rooms during demolition and cleaning.
Dehumidifier and Air Mover
Dri-Eaz and Phoenix Restoration Equipment units. Air movers evaporate moisture from surfaces; dehumidifiers pull it out of the air so the structure actually dries.
Thermal Fogger
Pushes thermal fogging solution into cracks, voids, and ductwork where smoke residue hides. This is what reaches the places a sponge cannot.
Use cases
When You Need Fire and Flood Restoration
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Attic Fire Rebuild, Quail Hill Condo
An electrical fire in the attic charred framing and insulation and pushed smoke through the upper floor. The unit smelled strongly of smoke, and the ductwork was coated with soot. → We removed charred lumber and insulation, cleaned the ductwork, ran hydroxyl generators for 48 hours, and rebuilt the roof deck and framing. The unit passed inspection on the first walkthrough.
Restaurant Fire Cleanup, Irvine Spectrum
A commercial kitchen fire left soot on every surface and standing water on the tile floor. The restaurant was closed and losing revenue every day it stayed shut. → We worked nights to avoid disrupting neighboring businesses, extracted water, degreased every surface, and rebuilt the affected wall and ceiling. The restaurant reopened 11 days after the fire.
Problems we solve
Problems We Solve for EAST IRVINE Homeowners
Fire and water damage create a chain of problems that get worse the longer they sit. Here are the ones we see most often, and how we handle them.
Lingering smoke odor weeks after the fire
We clean the ductwork, seal porous framing with encapsulant, and run hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging until the odor is neutralized. We do not mask it with perfume. If you can still smell smoke after we finish, we come back.
Mold growth after fire suppression
We extract standing water immediately, set drying equipment the same day, and verify moisture readings daily. If mold has already started, we remove affected material and treat the framing before rebuild.
Melted electrical wiring and scorched panels
We coordinate with a licensed electrician to replace damaged wiring and panels, then handle the soot, odor, and structural repair in the same scope. The electrical work is inspected and signed off before we close walls.
Smoke damage in HVAC ducts
We clean the ductwork as part of the smoke remediation scope, not as an afterthought. Sealing and cleaning the ducts before the system is turned back on is what keeps the odor from returning.
Pricing process
Fire and Flood Restoration Pricing
$3,500 - $28,000+ depending on scope
Square footage affected
The larger the area touched by fire, smoke, or water, the more labor, equipment, and material the job requires. A single room is a very different scope than a whole floor.
Water volume and category
Clean water from a supply line is cheaper to handle than Category 3 water from a sewer backup or flood. Category 3 requires additional containment, disposal, and disinfection steps.
Structural damage extent
Cosmetic soot cleanup is fast. Charred framing, damaged roofing, and compromised load-bearing members add days and material cost to the job.
How much does fire and flood restoration cost in EAST IRVINE California?
Most residential fire and flood restoration jobs in EAST IRVINE run $3,500 to $28,000, with the average single-room loss around $9,000. Water extraction and drying alone typically costs $1,800 to $6,500. Structural rebuild is the biggest variable. We provide a written Xactimate scope within 24 hours so you and your adjuster see every line item before work starts.
Who does fire and water damage restoration near me in EAST IRVINE?
We do, and we handle both sides of the loss. Call (833) 929-6186 and we dispatch a crew, usually on site within 60 to 90 minutes. We are licensed, insured, and bonded, and we work directly with your carrier. If you are in Woodbridge, Northwood, or Turtle Rock, we are already in the area most days.
Can fire and water damage be restored together in EAST IRVINE CA?
Yes, and it should be. Water from suppression soaks the same framing the fire charred, so drying and soot removal have to happen in the right order. We extract water first, dry the structure to IICRC S500 standards, then remove soot and treat odor. Doing it out of order traps moisture behind new drywall and grows mold.
Does insurance cover fire and flood restoration in EAST IRVINE California?
In most cases, yes. Standard homeowners and commercial policies cover fire damage and the water damage caused by firefighting, though flood from an external source needs a separate policy. We document the loss in Xactimate, photograph everything, and communicate directly with your adjuster to keep the claim moving.
