We work with all major insurance carriers
One team, start to finish
Our first job is to stop the damage from getting worse. After that, we go through the property with you and put a free estimate in writing. Nothing gets started until you say so.
We do property damage restoration in Oakland for Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, hillside homes, apartments, and commercial buildings. Water, fire, smoke, mold, and storm damage are all part of what we handle. Once things are dry, the same crew stays on to rebuild, so you aren't stuck hunting for another contractor.
As a disaster restoration company in Oakland, we're backed by IICRC Certified Firm #70120685. Homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners all over Alameda County call us when something goes wrong.
Homes and businesses
Each damage restoration service in Oakland begins with a free inspection. Here's what we tend to see the most, and what our crew does about it.
Burst supply lines, failed water heaters, and old galvanized pipes in older homes are everyday calls for us. During winter storms, rain can also push water into basements and crawlspaces. Our crew removes the water, sets up dehumidifiers, and stops by daily to check moisture until the job is dry.

A kitchen fire, an electrical fire, or a space heater can leave soot all through a home. The 1991 Oakland Hills firestorm is a reminder of how fast fire can spread here. We clean the soot, deal with the odor at its source, and replace whatever is too far gone to save.

Bay fog and damp winters keep crawlspaces and basements wet, so mold can show up soon after a leak. We find it a lot under floors, inside walls, and in closets on outside walls. We take care of the moisture source first, then remove the mold and dry everything out.

Winter atmospheric river storms can bring days of heavy rain and strong wind to the East Bay. Fallen trees, clogged drains, and roof damage let water inside. We dry the structure, pull out the wet materials, and fix the inside.

One burst pipe in a downtown office, or one flooded restaurant near Jack London Square, is enough to close your doors. We plan the drying around the day you want to reopen, and we document each step for your insurance.

Once the drying is finished, we replace what we removed. Depending on the job, that might be drywall, plaster, flooring, cabinets, trim, or paint. Older homes often need trim and moldings matched by hand, and we do that too. It's one company from start to finish.
More about reconstruction in Oakland
In Oakland, a lot of leaks start inside older plumbing. A corroded pipe gives out, a water heater fails, or a roof leak shows up with the first big storm of the winter. Our Oakland restoration team finds the source, removes standing water, dries the wet areas, and repairs the damage before it spreads.

Our team finds what's causing the moisture, seals off the affected area, removes the mold, and cleans the space. We also fix the water problem that let the mold grow in the first place.

Oakland weather and housing
Oakland's weather is mild most of the year, but almost all of its rain comes in the winter, often in a few big storms. Older homes and hillside lots make that water harder to keep out.
Winter storms can drop heavy rain for days at a time. Streets flood at low spots, and water finds its way into basements and crawlspaces.
In the Oakland Hills, rain runs downhill toward foundations and retaining walls. Saturated slopes can push water into lower floors and garages.
Many homes still have original galvanized or cast iron plumbing. Corroded pipes and cracked sewer lines can leak or back up without much warning.
Damp air off the bay keeps crawlspaces and north-facing walls from drying out. Over time, that moisture lets mold grow and wood rot.
A lot of Oakland's housing is over 80 years old, from Victorians in West Oakland to Craftsman bungalows in Temescal and Rockridge. Many sit on raised foundations with crawlspaces where water can collect unnoticed, and many are divided into apartments, where a leak in one unit can reach the next.
We see these problems across Alameda County and nearby parts of Contra Costa County.
Common questions
Stay away from water near outlets, the furnace, or the water heater. Move belongings to higher ground and check that nearby storm drains and downspouts aren't clogged. We can pump out the water, dry the space, and check walls and floors for hidden moisture.
If it's safe, call a restoration company quickly so the damage doesn't spread, and let your insurance company know as soon as you can. We document the affected areas with photos and moisture readings to support your claim.
Many policies cover water damage that happens suddenly, like a burst pipe or a failed water heater. Flooding usually needs a separate flood policy, and in California earthquake damage needs its own earthquake policy. Your own policy decides what's covered, so check with your insurer to be sure.
The water damage restoration cost in Oakland depends on how much water got in, what materials it reached, and how long the moisture sat there. Older homes with plaster walls and crawlspaces can take longer to dry. Small jobs may only need extraction and drying, while bigger ones can mean pulling up flooring and replacing drywall.
The inspection and estimate are both free. You'll get the recommended work and expected costs in writing, and we'll go over any payment details with you before anything starts.
They can. Galvanized and cast iron pipes corrode from the inside, and a pinhole leak can soak a wall or crawlspace before you notice. Shut off the main valve as soon as you see water, and we can dry the affected areas.
