Ojai is quiet, peaceful, until it isn’t. When a traumatic event strikes a home, a retreat, or a rental property, the aftermath is more than emotional. Blood, fluids, and biohazards create invisible threats that spread fast and compromise safety.
Total Restoration is Ojai’s go-to for certified crime scene remediation.
We respond 24/7 with licensed technicians, full PPE, and industrial equipment. We don’t just clean, we contain, document, disinfect, and fully restore.
We also understand that many properties here aren’t just homes, they’re sanctuaries, historic spaces, or wellness environments. That’s why our approach balances professionalism with compassion, always.
Ojai’s tight-knit community means privacy matters. Our crews arrive, move quietly, and handle everything from initial cleanup to final clearance, so families can grieve without exposure or public spectacle. Ojai faces unique biohazard challenges:
We respect that trauma in this community can carry deep emotional weight. Whether we’re called to a small cabin or a large estate, our process is quiet, complete, and done with full sensitivity to those affected. Property owners often try to clean up themselves out of shame or urgency. Don’t. Exposure risks are severe, and without documentation, insurance coverage can be denied.
It depends on scene size and contamination level. A small bedroom may run $2,000–$3,000. Severe decomposition or multi-room damage can push above $10,000. We provide estimates upfront, never mid-job surprises.
In many cases, yes. We back claims with timestamped reports, photos, ATP test logs, and disposal manifests. Most providers pay when we submit the correct evidence, and we handle that for you.
Yes. Police, paramedics, and coroners do not clean. Once the scene is released, it’s the property owner’s responsibility to restore it legally and safely. That’s where we come in.
No. That’s done by the county coroner or medical examiner. We begin our process once the scene is cleared by officials.
You shouldn’t. Bloodborne pathogens can infect through skin, air, or eyes. Without air scrubbers, PPE, and certified disposal, you could spread contamination further and put yourself at serious risk.
We verify with ATP surface testing and provide written clearance reports. If needed, we bring in third-party hygienists to confirm.
Yes. Our crews are IICRC-certified and OSHA-trained. We’ve handled rural scenes, decompositions, and high-sensitivity jobs across Ventura County for years.
Tyvek suits, nitrile gloves, face shields, boot covers, and powered respirators. We also deploy HEPA filtration and air control on every job.
It depends. A single room might take a few hours. Larger or decomposed scenes can take days due to drying and demolition. We don’t leave until it’s safe, certified, and fully cleared.
90 minutes or less. We have regional crews on standby 24/7. The faster we contain it, the better the health outcome, and the insurance result.
This town is tight-knit. Reputation matters. So does discretion.The value of a home is more than its square footage. Many properties have spiritual, artistic, or historical significance, and our technicians treat them accordingly. Ojai homes and facilities aren’t built like commercial spaces. Most properties here feature:
We take extra care in structures with adobe walls, natural ventilation, and wood-based architecture to ensure our process removes risk without damaging what makes the property unique.
We also work with property managers, wellness retreat directors, and estate owners to schedule restoration in a way that protects your business reputation and minimizes disruption.

From the first containment barrier to the last coat of paint, our IICRC-certified trauma team manages every phase. No subcontractors, no delays — just one team restoring safety, dignity, and compliance for Ojai property owners.
Ojai’s valley setting and mix of ranch properties, older homes, and small-town neighborhoods create unique challenges when it comes to crime scene remediation. High summer heat accelerates decomposition, spreading odor and bacteria through structures quickly. Winter dampness pushes fluids deeper into porous building materials like wood subfloors and plaster walls. Rodents in barns and groves can disturb contaminated areas, spreading pathogens further. And in multi-unit buildings downtown, shared walls and ductwork create cross-unit risks if the scene isn’t contained immediately.
Our Ojai-specific protocols include:
In Ojai, crime scene cleanup isn’t just about restoring structures. It’s about protecting families, ranch owners, and tenants from long-term risks — and doing it with respect, compliance, and care.
In Ojai’s heat and valley climate, fluids and odors intensify quickly. By avoiding DIY cleanup and following these steps, you safeguard your health, protect your insurance claim, and ensure the space is handled with care and compliance.
No one expects to need crime scene remediation, especially not in a peaceful town like Ojai. But when you do, the last thing you should have to battle is your insurance company. And unfortunately, that’s what many homeowners and retreat property owners face.
Carriers often try to minimize coverage by labeling trauma-related damage as neglect or “maintenance failure.” We shut that down. Here’s how we protect our clients in Ojai:
But beyond the paperwork, we care. We know many of our Ojai clients are dealing with loss, grief, or unexpected trauma. We take time to explain the process, advocate directly with adjusters, and make sure you’re never left alone to deal with claim rejections or red tape.
Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or business owner, we fight for the coverage you’re owed. And we stay on until the job is not just finished, but fully paid out.
In Ojai, every minute matters. Isolated properties, sensitive communities, and vulnerable families make fast, discreet action essential.
Odors spread. Bacteria multiply. Insurance coverage weakens.
