Section 01 · First 15 minutes

First 15 minutes — what to do before we arrive.

While we’re on the way, this is what protects your property and your insurance claim.

Water damage

Shut off the main water valve. Move soft goods (rugs, electronics, furniture) off wet floors. Don’t run electrical anywhere near standing water.

Mold

Don’t disturb it. Don’t spray bleach. Don’t tear out drywall. Cutting into mold-contaminated material without containment spreads spores through your HVAC system into the rest of the house.

Fire & smoke

Don’t enter until the fire department clears the property. Don’t wipe soot — it’s acidic and smearing it etches surfaces deeper.

Sewage / flood

Stay out of contaminated water. It’s a biohazard. Turn off electricity to affected rooms if the breaker is reachable safely.

Document everything

Photograph everything before cleanup starts. Insurance adjusters need timestamped damage documentation.

Section 02 · Why we’re nearby

Why Encino properties need a local restoration team.

Encino has restoration patterns most companies don’t know — and we’re about 12 minutes away to work them.

We’re about 12 minutes away.

Encino is about a 12-minute drive from our Woodland Hills HQ — real proximity, not marketing.

We know Encino’s patterns.

Hillside homes south of Ventura Boulevard sit in California’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Older Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial homes in Royal Oaks and Amestoy Estates run aging galvanized and copper plumbing failing at the slab and behind walls. Add hillside runoff, pool-deck membrane intrusion, and HVAC mold from sealed-up summer homes — common patterns here.

One license. One team.

We hold a CSLB #1078518 B-General Building Contractor license. The same crew that handles emergency mitigation also handles the rebuild — no second contractor, no scheduling gap, no scope handoff. One team from emergency call to final walkthrough.

Section 03 · Damage we handle

What we do in Encino.

Four core services, plus flood, sewage, and reconstruction handled in-house. Each links to its dedicated Encino page.

Mold Removal & Remediation

S520 containment and removal — remediation only; clearance testing is done by an independent third-party hygienist. Bathroom moisture, crawl-space humidity, and HVAC mold from sealed-up Encino summers.

Water Damage Restoration

Burst pipes, slab leaks, supply-line failures, atmospheric-river flooding, and pool-deck intrusion. IICRC S500 — we answer 24/7 for active leaks.

View Encino page →

Fire Damage Restoration

S700 fire mitigation, structural restoration, and soot decontamination. The same crew handles the rebuild on our B-General license.

View Encino page →

Smoke Damage Restoration

S700 smoke decontamination, HVAC cleaning, and odor neutralization — built for Palisades Fire smoke infiltration in Encino Hills.

Section 05 · What sets us apart

Why Encino property owners call us first.

A local team that mitigates and rebuilds under one license — documented to the standards insurers require.

Real proximity — 12 minutes from HQ.

We’re based in Woodland Hills, a short drive away — and we answer 24/7.

One license. One team. One timeline.

CSLB #1078518 B-General Building Contractor. The crew that arrives on the emergency call is the crew that handles your rebuild — no second contractor, no scope handoff, no scheduling gap.

IICRC standards on every job.

S500 for water & sewage, S520 for mold (remediation only), S700 for fire & smoke. Adjusters recognize the documentation immediately.

Mold remediation only — never testing.

Independent third-party industrial hygienists handle clearance testing. That protects you from inflated scope or biased findings — a real ethical line we hold.

Older Encino homes: asbestos stops the job.

Pre-1980 properties commonly have asbestos in original drywall, insulation, or pipe wrap. If asbestos is suspected, we stop and bring in a licensed abatement firm before the work continues.

Insurance documentation built in.

We document scope to the IICRC standards your carrier recognizes and coordinate with your adjuster.

Property damage restoration: what the work looks like.

The photo is from an Instant Restoration water damage job in West Hills, Los Angeles County.

We are a California-licensed general building contractor (CSLB #1078518), bonded and insured, and we answer 24/7.

One team from emergency call to final walkthrough — the handoff most companies make, we keep in-house.

Section 07 · Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

The questions we hear most from Encino property owners.

How fast can you get to Encino?
We answer 24/7 — and we’re based in Woodland Hills, about 12 minutes away. Our site-wide target is a 55-minute response across LA, Ventura, and Orange Counties, but Encino sits inside our closest radius.
Do you work fire-zone homes in Encino Hills?
Yes. We serve fire-zone properties south of Ventura Blvd, which sit in the same Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone classification as the Palisades corridor. The January 2025 Palisades Fire burned the Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Topanga, and Brentwood corridor — it did not directly burn Encino, but smoke and ash reached the city for days.
Do you follow the IICRC standards?
Yes. We follow the S500 (water), S520 (mold remediation), and S700 (fire and smoke) standards. The company holds CSLB #1078518 B-General Building Contractor.
Do you handle the rebuild after mitigation?
Yes — same team. The CSLB B-General license means drywall, framing, flooring, and finishes are all in-house. One project manager from emergency call to final walkthrough.
Do you do mold testing?
No — by design. We do mold remediation only (IICRC S520). Independent third-party industrial hygienists handle clearance testing, which protects you from biased findings.
What if my Encino home has asbestos in the original materials?
Pre-1980 Encino homes commonly have asbestos in drywall, insulation, or pipe wrap that water or fire damage can expose — we stop and bring in a licensed abatement firm before the work continues.
Do you work with insurance directly?
Yes — on the documentation side, when you authorize it. We document scope to IICRC standards, photograph everything, and coordinate with your adjuster.
