Restoration Pros LLC · Whittier dispatch
Restoration Pros LLC provides restoration services in Whittier, CA for houses that have seen a lot of years: Craftsman bungalows a few blocks from Uptown, ranch homes up in Friendly Hills, post-war tracts across East Whittier. Water, smoke, mold or sewage, the same crew handles the cleanup and the repairs.
We head out from our office on McFadden Avenue in Huntington Beach and take the 405 to the 605 north. The emergency line works day and night, and a family-run company answers it.
A few details about what happened and where help us plan the visit. We will call you back to schedule an inspection.
Water damage
A lot of the older houses around Uptown and Whittier College sit on raised foundations, with supply lines and drains running through a crawlspace a couple of feet below the floor. A leak down there can drip for weeks without a sound. Most owners find out from a soft spot near the bathroom, a musty smell when the heat kicks on, or a water bill that makes no sense.
We pump out standing water, clear wet debris and set absorbent bags in the low corners where water pools. Moisture meters and thermal imaging show how far it climbed into the joists and subfloor. Our water extraction and structural drying work then runs air movers and dehumidifiers, usually three to five days, until the wood reads dry.
Fire and smoke
The Puente Hills rise along the north edge of town, and by late summer the brush around Turnbull Canyon and Hellman Park is bone dry. A fire up there does not have to reach your street to cost you. Smoke slips through attic vents and window gaps and leaves a film on walls, drapes and everything in the closets.
Inside the house, the usual culprits are a pan left on the burner, a lint-clogged dryer vent, or an extension cord asked to do too much. Our fire damage restoration crew removes soot, treats odor with ozone machines, thermal fogging and air scrubbers, and cleans the furniture, clothing and paperwork that can be saved.
Field notes
Restoration services in Whittier cover a city the Quakers founded in 1887, so the homes here span more than a century of building styles. Each era fails in its own way. These are the jobs that come up most.
The 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake hit Uptown hard, and many of the brick buildings along Greenleaf Avenue were retrofitted or rebuilt in the years after. Plenty of those blocks still put apartments or offices above street-level shops. When a line breaks upstairs, the water finds the store below. We trace it with thermal imaging and keep a separate photo and moisture log for each tenant space.
Rentals around Whittier College turn over every year, and a slow drip under a bathroom vanity can go unreported for a whole semester. By the time the next tenant moves in, the cabinet floor is soft and spotted. We inspect, contain the area, remove the growth with EPA-approved antimicrobials and fix the leak that fed it, then document it all for the owner.
Wipes, grease and roots. That is usually the list when a main line clogs, and in a single-story ranch house the lowest drain is often a shower or tub. Whatever comes up through it is contaminated. Our sewage backup cleanup covers extraction, removal of carpet and drywall that cannot be sanitized, disinfection and odor control before anything gets rebuilt.
Some calls are harder than a flooded floor. Blood, bodily fluids and chemical spills need trained technicians, protective gear and real disinfection, not a mop and a bucket. We handle biohazard and trauma scene cleanup carefully for families, landlords and business owners, and we leave the space safe to use again.
A winter storm can drop a heavy limb through a roof, and a fire can leave a shattered window on a street-facing room. Either way, the opening needs to be closed before the next rain or the next night. We board up windows and doors and tarp damaged roofs so the house stays secure while the claim and repairs get started.
A burst hose at 11pm on a Sunday is still an emergency. If you are typing emergency restoration services near me while water spreads across the kitchen, call (866) 620-1373. We will help you find the shutoff and get a crew rolling. The same around-the-clock emergency service also reaches homeowners down the road who need restoration help in Buena Park.
Insurance claims

Restoration Pros LLC is registered with the California Secretary of State and staffed by IICRC-certified technicians, which matters when an insurer reviews restoration services in Whittier.

FAQ
If the damage does not fit a neat category, call and describe it. We can usually tell you over the phone what the next step should be.
Yes. Raised-foundation houses are common in the older parts of Whittier. Crawlspace work includes extracting standing water, using absorbent bags in low spots, clearing wet debris and drying the joists and subfloor until moisture readings come back to normal.
Hard surfaces and most framing can be dried and treated. Porous materials soaked by sewage, like carpet pad and drywall, usually have to be removed. We test with moisture meters and tell you what is worth saving before anything gets torn out.
It depends on the policy. Many standard homeowner policies exclude earthquake damage, and separate earthquake coverage has its own terms. Either way, we document the damage with photos and moisture readings and talk with your adjuster, so you have a clear record for whichever policy applies.
Yes. Our restoration services in Whittier include offices, shops and mixed-use buildings, and we coordinate with property managers who can open every affected unit. That way moisture gets traced through the whole building, and each space gets its own documentation.
The office runs Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm. Water, fire, sewage and other urgent damage go to the 24/7 emergency line at (866) 620-1373, any day and any hour.
Often, yes. We clean furniture and belongings, and we dry documents that got wet when the fire was put out. Some items are too far gone, and we will tell you which ones are worth the effort before the work starts.
Blood, bodily fluids and chemical spills. These need protective equipment, safe removal and thorough disinfection. Our technicians handle it so family members and employees do not have to.
Yes. We board up broken windows and doors and tarp damaged roofs to keep weather out while repairs are planned. That work can be part of the same job as drying and reconstruction, so one company tracks it all.
A soaked subfloor or a smoky attic gets worse with every hour it sits. Call Restoration Pros LLC for restoration services in Whittier and reach a family-run crew that has handled this work since 2014.
