Slab leak under the kitchen finally surfaced through the laminate floor on a Saturday afternoon. Chatsworth Restoration had a tech in my driveway in under forty minutes, located the leak with thermal imaging, lifted the affected flooring, and had three dehumidifiers running before dinner. Drying readings every morning, equipment pulled exactly when the meters said dry. Worth every penny.

A typical residential job clocked from the moment the phone rings — through arrival, stabilization, drying, and adjuster sign-off. Most finish inside the 120-hour window.
Live dispatcher answers any hour. Closest crew loaded with extraction equipment is sent — no voicemail, no callback, no waiting until morning.
Truck-mounted extractors begin pulling standing water. Photographs and moisture readings start documenting the loss for insurance.
Dehumidifiers and air movers placed and running. Compromised drywall removed. Antimicrobial treatment if Cat-2 or Cat-3. Daily readings begin.
Drywall, paint, baseboard, flooring — finished to match. Final walkthrough with the homeowner, full documentation packet to the adjuster, claim closed clean.
Real readings.
Real numbers.
A dehumidifier alone doesn't dry a flooded room — and a fan alone just blows damp air around. Each room gets the right combination of dehumidifier capacity (in pints per day) and air-mover throw, sized to the cubic footage and the wetness of the materials.
Daily meter readings tell us where the moisture is and whether the equipment is doing its job. We don't pull the kit until every reading is at dry-standard.
- Pin & pinless moisture meters for surface and subsurface readings.
- Thermal-imaging cameras to find moisture trapped behind drywall.
- Industrial dehumidifiers sized to the cubic footage of each room.
- Air movers placed for proper directional airflow across wet materials.
- Daily written readings attached to the insurance documentation packet.
When the leak
becomes mold.
Mold can start growing on wet drywall in 24–48 hours. Once it's established, it isn't a cleanup — it's a remediation, with containment, removal, and verification before any rebuild.
Contained, removed, verified.
When mold is already established on a wall surface, a quick wipe-down doesn't fix it — spores spread through the air, contaminate the rest of the property, and the colony grows back. The IICRC remediation protocol is non-negotiable: spore-count testing, negative-pressure HEPA containment, removal of affected porous material, antimicrobial treatment, and post-remediation verification before any drywall or paint goes back up.

Found mold behind the master bathroom drywall after a slow toilet supply leak we never caught. The team contained the area with plastic and a HEPA scrubber, removed the affected drywall and insulation, treated the studs, and brought in a third-party tester to verify clearance before any rebuild. Insurance covered most of it because every step was documented.
Storm runoff came down the hill in Porter Ranch and flooded the lower-level family room one night during a January storm. They were there inside an hour, ran extractors all night, set up containment, and dried the wall cavities over five days. Everything came back to normal — the carpet pad they replaced is the only sign anything happened.
