From Lynn Ranch to Oakbrook, we’ve handled trauma behind gated entries, in corporate lots, and within apartment corridors. No drama. Just safe, documented, code-compliant cleanup.

Thousand Oaks presents unique challenges for trauma cleanup:

  • Older Homes + Porous Materials – Fluids and biohazards penetrate deeper into drywall, carpet, and subflooring.
  • Multi-Level Living – Stains, odors, and pathogens move between floors and shared walls fast.
  • Shared HVAC Systems – Townhomes and condos require immediate air control to prevent spread.
  • High-Value Properties – Demands restoration without visible trace and with full documentation for resale or inspection.

Biohazards are rarely visible. Blood, tissue, and aerosolized pathogens embed in construction materials, HVAC systems, and framing. And in a city where reputation matters, discretion isn’t optional.

Total Restoration shuts down airflow, isolates the scene, removes damaged materials, sanitizes the entire affected zone, and verifies safety, fast and thorough.

Questions We Get from Thousand Oaks Property Owners

Cleanup ranges from $2,500 to $6,000+, depending on scene size and how far contamination spread. We provide detailed estimates before starting.

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.

I thought a different perspective may be nice with a review. I'm an employee with total restoration and I've worked with the owner for over 6 years. It's been so nice working with and for someone who always just wants to do what's right by the customer and do it well. Coming from a long construction background I can say that's not easy to find. Our team/ family works hard to provide a good experience as well and a good final product. Hopefully you're never in a place to need us, but if you do we are the company I would want walking into my home.

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.

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!

I was so lucky to find Chris and his company Total Restoration. They were very responsive to my phone calls, came out to see the mold problem and explained in detail how they could fix the issue.
It required remediating mold, which was hidden under my cabinet frames, rebuilding the frames and literally putting my kitchen back together again. Once they were finished my kitchen looked as good as it was originally, including the quartz counters and cabinets!
I can’t be more happy with how fast and careful they completed my entire kitchen repair, including remediating hard to reach mold. Their price was very fair, as my insurance would not cover the issue.
Total Restoration, with it’s owner Chris and his very competant crew, including his sister is the best company I have ever dealt with!

Deep Dive: Thousand Oaks Crime Scene Cleanup Challenges

Biohazard Cleaning Specialist

 Crime and trauma scenes in Thousand Oaks bring challenges different from coastal or rural areas. In hillside neighborhoods, bodily fluids can seep through multiple levels, making containment complex. The city’s hot, dry summers accelerate decomposition, spreading odor and pathogens faster through flooring, drywall, and air ducts. Older homes with porous building materials like hardwood or plaster make deep penetration more likely. In busy corridors near the 101 and commercial hubs, incidents in offices or industrial spaces require strict OSHA compliance and discreet response.

Our Thousand Oaks–specific protocols include:

These measures are adapted to Thousand Oaks’ terrain, housing profile, and climate,  deep dive ensuring crime scenes are remediated safely, legally, and with full respect for those affected.

Immediate Steps After a Crime Scene in Thousand Oaks

In Thousand Oaks, summer heat and hillside layouts make fluids and odors spread faster than most people expect. By avoiding DIY cleanup and following these steps, you protect health, preserve insurance coverage, and ensure the scene is managed with compliance and care.
