What California homeowners say.

★★★★★ From homeowners across the state

Linda C.
Chula Vista, CA
★★★★★
"I stepped out of bed and onto wet carpet at 6am. Followed it back to the bathroom and figured out we had a leak under the slab. Called California Water and Fire and they were here in under an hour. They pulled the carpet, cut out the soaked drywall, and got fans running before I even left for work. They came back every day to check the moisture and write everything down for our Farmers adjuster. The whole thing was way less stressful than I thought it would be."

"A branch came down through our patio cover during one of those wind nights and it started raining a few hours later. Water was getting into the wall by the time I noticed it. Called California Water and Fire late Sunday and they had two guys here with a tarp and equipment in maybe forty minutes. Spent the next week and a half drying it out and patching everything back up. You can't tell anything happened now."

★★★★★
"Saw black spots showing through the paint in our laundry room and got pretty nervous. California Water and Fire came out the next morning and actually took the time to explain what they were going to do before they did it. They sealed the room off, ran air tests, and removed everything carefully. After they finished they tested again and it came back clean. We hadn't had peace of mind in weeks."

★★★★★
"Big storm in January, drainage on the hillside backed up, and our garage was ankle deep. We didn't know who to call. Found California Water and Fire on Google and they had someone out that evening pumping water and pulling stuff out. Came back four days in a row to make sure it was drying right. Nationwide paid out fast because everything was documented. Nice people on top of being good at what they do."

Common Questions

What most homeowners
want to know.

What should I do if my home has water or fire damage?
Stop the source if you can do so safely. For water damage, shut off the main water valve. For fire damage, do not re-enter until cleared by the fire department. Take photos and video of everything before touching anything. Your insurance adjuster will need this. Move valuables out of affected areas. Then call a restoration company. We are typically on site within 45 minutes.
Should I call my insurance company first or the restoration company?
Call a restoration company first. A restoration crew can stop the damage from spreading while your insurance claim is being filed. We document everything to carrier standards from the moment we arrive, which strengthens your claim and prevents disputes later. Calling the restoration company first also puts you in control of who does the work on your home.
Is water damage covered by homeowners insurance?
Sudden and accidental water damage is typically covered by standard homeowners insurance. This includes burst pipes, appliance overflows, and storm driven rain through a damaged roof. Flooding from outside the home, such as rising rivers or storm surge, generally requires separate flood insurance. We work with every major carrier in California and bill them directly on covered claims. Learn more about how we handle insurance.
How much does damage restoration cost?
On claims covered by your homeowners insurance, you pay only your deductible. We bill your carrier directly for the rest, with no upfront payment required. For work outside insurance coverage, we provide a written estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises. Most residential water damage claims range from $3,000 to $15,000 depending on the size of the affected area.
How long does it take to dry out a flooded house?
Most residential water damage takes 3 to 5 days to dry out with commercial equipment. Severe flooding or saturated subfloors can take 7 to 10 days. We place industrial air movers and dehumidifiers immediately, then check moisture levels daily until everything reads dry. Skipping this step is the most common cause of mold growth after water damage. See our water damage restoration process.
How fast can your crew get to my home?
Most calls receive an on-site response within 45 minutes, day or night. We have offices in San Diego, Menifee, Ventura, and San Jose with crews staged across the state. A real dispatcher answers every call, not a recording, and a team is moving toward your property while you are still on the phone.
