Thousand Oaks has the reputation for being “dry and safe,” but ask anyone who’s opened up a wall in a 10-year-old home here and you’ll hear the same story: mold thrives where you least expect it.
Energy-efficient construction means houses are sealed tight, great for your AC bill, terrible for ventilation. One failed vapor barrier in a bathroom, one slow leak under a kitchen island, and moisture gets trapped with nowhere to escape.
HOA-controlled townhomes and condos? Delayed repairs are the norm. By the time approvals clear, colonies have spread through shared walls and ductwork. Luxury homes with premium finishes? They hide water intrusion so well that the first sign is a warped plank or swollen baseboard, long after the mold’s established behind the scenes.
Because you don’t need just restoration. You need Total Restoration.
Mold in Thousand Oaks isn’t a “quick spray and done” job, it’s a surgical operation.
We start by finding it. Pin-type moisture meters and thermal imaging map water migration paths through drywall, framing, and subfloors. In multi-unit buildings, we check shared walls and utility chases that feed multiple residences.
Containment comes first. We install industrial-grade poly sheeting, zipper entries, and negative air machines to keep spores locked down.
Filtration runs nonstop. HEPA scrubbers capture airborne spores and mycotoxins down to 0.3 microns during every phase.
Structural drying follows. Commercial dehumidifiers sized for your property’s cubic footage pull moisture out of walls and floors, paired with high-velocity air movers to flush cavities.
Targeted demolition. Infested drywall, insulation, and flooring get removed without over-demolishing clean materials. Salvageable framing is cleaned, dried, and sealed with EPA-registered antimicrobials.
Documentation is constant. Moisture logs, spore counts, photo and video evidence, demolition maps — built specifically to satisfy and pressure your insurance adjuster.
Clearance is mandatory. An independent hygienist performs post-remediation verification with air samples and surface swabs, giving you a written clean report.
Total Restoration doesn’t “treat” mold. We remove it, destroy its environment, and rebuild so it can’t return.
Here’s what homeowners and businesses ask most:
Because “tight” builds with poor airflow trap moisture from daily living. Energy efficiency isn’t the same as moisture control.
Yes, ducts move spores to every room. Contaminated systems must be cleaned or replaced during remediation.
Document the moisture source, your communications, and your mitigation efforts. Delay is their liability, but mold doesn’t wait for board meetings.
No. High-end hardwood and engineered planks hide moisture better, which means the mold can advance longer before detection.
Absolutely — without professional remediation and clearance documentation, buyers and lenders will walk away.
Posted on Marge MosleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was sound asleep when a stolen car driven by teens crashed through my back fence in the middle of the night. I was totally unprepared for what I needed to do next so I called Total Restoration, which turned out to be the best move that I could have made. I highly recommend them should you have a situation that requires an Emergency Service company.They truly are a 24/7 company and were willing to come out during the middle of the night to perform an emergency board up. The (crew consisting of 1 Supervisor and an additional employee) arrived within 40 minutes of my call. They immediately began to clean up and board up my property, from that initial contact on, Total Restoration helped to walk me though the process of dealing with my insurance co and restoring my property to its original condition. They always arrived to work when they said that they would and before they left for the day they always let me know what would happen next and when they would be back. Everyone I had contact with from the front office all the way down to the field personnel were friendly, polite and knowledgeable about what need to happen and when. It was a pleasure to work with them and they definitely took a lot of stress off me as they totally guided me through the entire rebuild process. They are a fantastic company to work with!Posted on Robyn VanTolTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys did smoke remediation on our house in the Palisades. They did a great job walking us through the process and were very fast in getting us a quote and starting the job. Very appreciative of them.Posted on Alan ETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely a great company to work with. Excellent work Excellent staff Very professionalPosted on Holly HolderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience working with Total Restoration to reconstruct our kitchen after water damage leak was honestly the best service we could have asked for. From the moment we met with Blake who did our estimate and walked me through every single question I had and really worked with us and our insurance agent. Jeff was our project manager and he was not only very personable & great to work with, he worked tirelessly to get us back in our home before Christmas. Not only that but we worked our budget to get us all that we needed and more to get our house back to a home. Thank you to the entire team!! Our home restoration would not have been as smooth with the company our insurance recommended I know that.Posted on Randy J Reyes JrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company and very professional. Chris is very knowledgeable and experienced. They take on small and big jobs, if your looking for someone this team is the one to hire.Posted on Sally Ponce-O'RourkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Total Restoration whether you have a small job (like in our bathroom) or a challenging one like with our condominium. First, they had to find the window leaks and because it is a 3 story building, had to erect scaffolding on the outside of the condo. They replaced drywall and surprisingly did an incredible job matching the old paint on the interior walls. Jeff Wilson and his team were professional and at the same time approachable. Our daughter & fiancé live in the condo in a different city than where we live. Jeff kept us informed (including pictures] every step of the way which alleviated any concerns we might have had. Also, being my husband is in the construction business, we knew the cost was reasonable and the results were amazing. Guarantee, Total Restoration will be the first & only company we will call when we need a job done right!Load more
