Water Damage

What should I do immediately after water damage or a flood?

Stop the water source if you safely can, shut off power to affected areas, and call a certified restoration company right away. Don't wait — standing water causes mold and structural damage within 24–48 hours. Call Revive Pro at (800) 918-5490 for 24/7 emergency extraction.

How much does water damage restoration cost?

Most residential water damage jobs in Southern California run roughly $1,300–$5,500, depending on how much water, the affected materials, and whether mold is present. Clean-water jobs cost less than sewage or flood water. We give a clear written estimate and bill insurance directly.

How long does water damage restoration take?

Drying usually takes 3–5 days; additional cleanup such as sewage or mold remediation can add time depending on the damage. We set up industrial drying equipment immediately and monitor moisture daily so your property dries as fast as safely possible.

Fire & Smoke Damage

How do you get rid of smoke smell after a fire?

Smoke odor hides deep in walls, ductwork, and fabrics, so surface cleaning won't remove it. We use professional thermal fogging, HEPA air scrubbing, and specialized cleaning to neutralize soot and odor at the source — not mask it — so your property truly smells clean again.

Does insurance cover fire and smoke damage?

Yes — most homeowners policies cover fire and smoke damage, including cleanup, repairs, and often temporary living expenses. We document everything and bill your insurer directly. Call Revive Pro at (800) 918-5490 and we'll guide you through the claim.

Mold

How do I know if I have hidden mold?

Common signs include a musty smell, water stains, peeling paint, or unexplained allergy symptoms indoors. Mold often hides behind walls, under flooring, and in HVAC systems. We offer free mold inspections with moisture meters and thermal imaging to find hidden growth — call (800) 918-5490.

How much does mold removal cost?

Mold remediation in Southern California typically runs $1,100–$3,500 for a contained area, depending on the size and location of the growth and the moisture source behind it. We provide free inspections and a clear written estimate before any work begins.

Does insurance cover mold removal?

It depends on the cause. Mold from a sudden, covered event — like a burst pipe — is usually covered, while mold from long-term neglect often isn't. We document the source, which is key to your claim, and bill your insurer directly wherever coverage applies.
