What's included
What our water damage restoration near me includes
Every job starts with a full inspection and ends with a documented dry-out. Here is what is covered in a standard water damage restoration near me in Woodland Hills, and what we handle as an add-on when the damage calls for it.
✓
Full moisture inspection
We walk the property with a moisture meter, thermal imaging camera, and boroscope to map every wet area, including behind walls and under floors. You get a written summary of what we found and where the water came from.
✓
Water extraction and removal
Truck-mounted and portable water extraction units pull standing water from carpet, pad, hardwood, and concrete. We remove and dispose of soaked carpet and pad when they cannot be dried in place.
✓
Structural drying
We set Dri-Eaz air movers and Phoenix Restoration Equipment dehumidifiers to dry framing, drywall, and subflooring. Daily hygrometer readings confirm the structure is drying on schedule, and we adjust equipment as needed.
✓
Antimicrobial treatment
We apply antimicrobial spray to wet framing, baseboards, and subflooring to block mold growth during the dry-out. If mold is already present, we add HEPA vacuum and containment as a separate remediation step.
✓
Insurance documentation
We photograph every affected area, log moisture readings, and build an Xactimate estimate your adjuster can process. You get a complete claim packet with before-and-after photos and a drying log.
✓
Repairs and rebuild
Once the structure reads dry, we replace drywall, baseboards, insulation, and paint as needed. You get a final walkthrough with documented moisture readings and a timeline for any remaining cosmetic work.
How it works
What to expect from our water damage process
01
Emergency call
You call (833) 321-7153 and describe what happened. We ask about the water source, how long it has been running, and whether sewage is involved. Within minutes we dispatch the nearest crew and give you an arrival window, usually 60 minutes or less anywhere in Woodland Hills.
02
Inspection and mapping
A technician walks the property with a moisture meter, thermal imaging camera, and boroscope to find hidden water behind walls and under floors. We mark the wet zone with plastic sheeting and take baseline readings. This inspection takes 30 to 45 minutes on a typical 1,500-square-foot home.
03
Water extraction
We pull standing water with a water extraction unit, then switch to smaller wands for carpet and pad. A typical living room clears in one to two hours. If the source is a slab leak or pipe burst, we coordinate the repair before drying so we are not fighting a live leak.
04
Drying and monitoring
We set Dri-Eaz air movers and Phoenix Restoration Equipment dehumidifiers to pull moisture from framing, drywall, and subflooring. Desiccant units handle tight crawl spaces. We check readings daily with a hygrometer and infrared thermometer, and a standard dry-out runs three to five days.
05
Repairs and walkthrough
Once the structure reads dry, we replace drywall, baseboards, insulation, and paint as needed. You get a final walkthrough with moisture readings documented, plus photos for your file. Most Woodland Hills jobs close out within seven to ten days from the first call.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use on every job
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Moisture meter
Pin and pinless meters measure moisture content in drywall, wood, and concrete. We use them to map the wet zone and to confirm the structure is dry before we pull equipment.
Thermal imaging camera
Infrared imaging shows temperature differences behind walls and under floors, which reveals hidden water from slab leaks and pipe bursts that a visual inspection would miss.
Air mover (Dri-Eaz)
High-velocity air movers evaporate moisture from wet surfaces so the dehumidifier can pull it out of the air. We position them based on the room layout and the drying goal.
Dehumidifier (Phoenix Restoration Equipment)
LGR and desiccant dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the air, which keeps the drying process moving. Desiccant units handle tight crawl spaces and cool rooms where LGR units are less effective.
Water extraction unit
Truck-mounted and portable extractors pull standing water from carpet, pad, and hard flooring. We extract first because drying equipment cannot keep up with standing water.
Hygrometer and infrared thermometer
These confirm relative humidity and surface temperature so we can calculate the drying goal and verify the structure is dry to the ANSI/IICRC S500 standard.
Boroscope
A boroscope lets us look inside wall cavities and ceiling voids without tearing everything open. We use it to confirm where water traveled and whether mold is present.
Real results
Before and after.
Kitchen supply line flood in Warner Center
Before
A supply line under a kitchen sink let go overnight and dumped water across 400 square feet of condo flooring. Carpet, pad, and the bottom of the cabinets were soaked, and water had seeped into the unit below.
After
We extracted the water, removed the soaked carpet and pad, and dried the subfloor and cabinets in four days. Moisture readings dropped from 28% to 9%. The unit below was dried in three days, and both claims were approved without dispute.
Slab leak in a Walnut Acres ranch home
Before
A slab leak under the living room floor pushed water up through the concrete and warped 300 square feet of hardwood. The homeowner noticed a warm spot on the floor and a spike in the water bill before any visible damage appeared.
After
We confirmed the leak with a thermal imaging camera, coordinated the plumbing repair, and dried the slab and subfloor over six days. The hardwood was replaced, and the new floor was installed two weeks later.
Storm flooding in a Woodland Hills Estates crawl space
Before
Two days of winter rain pushed water through a roof valley and into the crawl space. Standing water sat for 36 hours before the homeowner called, and mold had started on the floor joists.
After
We pumped out the water, contained the crawl space, removed the mold with HEPA vacuum and antimicrobial spray, and installed a vapor barrier. Humidity dropped from 82% to 48% in five days.

Pipe burst behind a wall during a cold snap
We shut off the water, open the wall, extract standing water, and dry the cavity with air movers and a dehumidifier. We replace the insulation and drywall once readings confirm the framing is dry.
Roof leak staining the ceiling after a storm
We trace the leak with a boroscope, dry the ceiling cavity, and treat the framing with antimicrobial spray. Then we repair the drywall and paint so the stain does not return next rainy season.
Sewage backup in a ground-floor bathroom
We contain the area with plastic sheeting, remove contaminated materials, and treat the space with antimicrobial spray. We dispose of everything per California regulations and dry the structure before rebuild.

Most Woodland Hills jobs run $1,200 to $6,500 in 2026, with the average around $3,200. A small appliance leak that stays in one room lands near the low end. Sewage backup, slab leaks, or storm flooding that reaches multiple rooms pushes higher. We give you a written estimate before work starts, and we bill your insurance directly when you file a claim.
Check three things: a California CSLB license, IICRC certification, and whether they answer the phone live at 2 a.m. We hold all three, and we have been working Woodland Hills since 2021. Ask any company for their license number and a sample moisture log before you let them start.
Yes. We dispatch crews 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, and most Woodland Hills addresses see a technician within 60 minutes. Night calls are common for pipe bursts and water heater failures. Call (833) 321-7153 and a live dispatcher will get a truck moving.
Shut off the water at the main valve if you can reach it safely, and kill power to any flooded room at the breaker. Move furniture and electronics off wet carpet, and do not run a household vacuum on standing water. Take phone photos of everything before you touch it. Then leave the drying to us.
