A structure fire changes a Occidental property in minutes, but the cleanup clock is even less forgiving. Our local crews are equipped to start stabilizing the site the same day you call.
Call +1-866-484-1409Every technician on our Occidental roster holds current IICRC fire and smoke restoration certification — the same credential adjusters look for when reviewing a claim file.
Because our crews work 95465 95472 95419 regularly, they already understand which Occidental permitting steps apply to fire reconstruction and roughly how long inspections take before drywall can go back up.
Homeowners, landlords, and Occidental, CA adjusters trust our paperwork because it's consistent: photo logs, moisture readings, and a written scope on every single Occidental job.
State-licensed for fire mitigation and reconstruction work.
A real technician answers the Occidental line, any hour.
Certified technicians who've handled structural fire losses before.
Documentation built to match what Occidental, CA carriers expect.
We also keep a running photo log for every Occidental job — before, during, and after — so there's never a dispute over what condition the property was in at each stage.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Coughing or headaches that persist inside the home often trace back to fine soot particles still circulating in the air.
Occidental, CA insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
None of these six signs get better with time. The Occidental properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.
First priority is always stopping additional loss: boarding openings, tarping the roof, and pulling standing water.
We treat drywall, contents, and HVAC separately rather than running one blanket chemical wash across everything.
Phased scopes that let Occidental businesses reopen unaffected sections while the rest of the rebuild continues.
Reconstruction crews handle everything from studs to trim, coordinated directly with Occidental permitting.
We treat smoke odor as a chemical problem, not a scent problem — hydroxyl and ozone equipment gets used accordingly.
Contents get sorted early so you're not paying to store items that were never going to survive the damage.
+1-866-484-1409 connects you to a live dispatcher, not a script.
Structural safety, moisture, and soot readings get documented before any work starts.
Board-up, extraction, and soot removal proceed against the written scope you approved.
Nothing gets closed out until you've confirmed the work in person.
No verbal ballpark that turns into a different invoice later.
Same-day arrival is realistic because we're already positioned near Occidental.
We talk to your adjuster directly and send documentation they can act on.
If part of the scope isn't right, we return and fix it at no extra cost.

We'd rather put the guarantee on paper up front than have a disagreement about it once the job is finished.
The number we quote after inspection is the number on the final invoice, barring written change orders you approve.
Reconstruction work is covered against defects for a full year after completion.
You won't be bounced between five different subcontractors on this job.
We'd rather lose a job to a competitor's lower quote than win one by underselling what a Occidental fire loss actually requires — the guarantee only means something if the scope behind it is accurate to begin with.
