Restoration by ABG handles water damage, fire and smoke damage, and odor removal for homes in Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties. We are a licensed general contractor, so the crew that stops the damage also repairs it.
What happened?
24-hour emergency service
Water damage gets worse by the hour, and smoke residue sets in fast. We answer the phone any time of day or night, tell you what to do while we are on the way, and start documenting the loss as soon as we arrive. Our technicians hold IICRC certifications in water damage restoration (WRT) and fire and smoke restoration (FSRT).
Burst pipes, failed supply lines, water heater and appliance leaks, and water coming in through the roof or windows. We find the source, remove the water, and dry the structure until the readings prove it.
Soot and smoke residue travel well beyond the room where a fire started. We clean what can be cleaned, remove what cannot, and seal the surfaces so the smell does not come back.
Smoke, soot, and musty odors live in carpet, drywall, and framing, and air fresheners only cover them for a day. We find where the odor is coming from, remove the source, and treat the affected surfaces and air.
The first thing we decide on every water loss, per the IICRC S500 standard

How a job runs
Every step is photographed and logged, so you and your insurance adjuster can see what was done and why.
We find the source, measure moisture or smoke spread, and photograph everything.
Shut off the source, extract standing water, secure openings if needed, and protect undamaged rooms so the problem does not spread.
Drying equipment goes in for water losses. Soot removal starts for fire losses. We return to check readings until the structure meets its dry standard.
Materials that stay wet or smoke-saturated come out. Everything else stays, which keeps your repair costs down.
Drywall, paint, flooring, and finish work, done by our own crew so the job does not stall between trades.
Most restoration companies dry the house and hand you off to someone else to rebuild it. Because Restoration by ABG is part of Anaya Builder Group, a licensed general contractor, one team handles the mitigation and the repairs under a single license, CSLB #1034169.
