Palisades Fire: Responding to Fire & Smoke Damage Losses in the Greater Los Angeles Area

Mold Remediation in Camarillo

Serving Camarillo properties with expert repair and restoration.

Camarillo sits in a unique moisture trap. It’s inland enough to avoid constant ocean spray but close enough to pull in the coastal marine layer almost every night. That fog rolls over the valley, settles on rooftops and siding, and lingers until mid-morning. By then, the moisture has seeped into vents, attic insulation, and crawlspaces. Add irrigation from agriculture and lawns, and you have year-round damp conditions, perfect for mold.

We’ve gutted bathrooms in Camarillo where the shower exhaust vented directly into the attic, feeding colonies for years. We’ve opened living room walls and found mold from slab leaks migrating across an entire foundation. If you can smell it, it’s already deep.

Because you don’t need just restoration. You need Total Restoration.

In Camarillo, mold isn’t just a bathroom or basement problem. It’s under floors, in HVAC ducts, and behind stucco that’s been cracked for years. Agricultural irrigation adds to the issue — overspray and high soil moisture feed colonies from below.

Inspection & Source Mapping

  • Thermal imaging pinpoints moisture behind surfaces without unnecessary demolition.
  • Pin-type meters read moisture deep inside framing and subfloors.
  • Crawlspace inspections reveal hidden vapor intrusion from ground moisture.

Containment & Air Control

  • Industrial-grade poly barriers with zipper doors seal affected areas.
  • HEPA filtration runs 24/7, capturing microscopic contaminants before they spread.

Structural Drying

  • Dehumidifiers sized for your square footage remove trapped moisture.
  • High-velocity air movers push dry air into cavities and across framing.

Targeted Demolition

  • Infested drywall, insulation, and flooring are cut away without damaging clean materials.
  • Remaining framing gets scrubbed, dried, and sealed with EPA-approved antimicrobials.

Insurance-Grade Documentation

  • Daily moisture and humidity logs
  • Pre/post remediation spore counts
  • Photo and video evidence from every phase
  • Detailed demolition maps

Final Clearance
We bring in a third-party hygienist to test and certify your property mold-free — essential for insurance records and resale.

Camarillo Mold Remediation: Real Homeowner Concerns

Here’s what homeowners and businesses ask most:

High groundwater and irrigation overspray mean the soil under many Camarillo homes never fully dries. Without vapor barriers, that moisture rises into subfloor framing year-round.

Yes. Moisture from surrounding fields increases local humidity. Plus, pest-control foggers can introduce moisture and particulates that feed mold growth.

Absolutely. Warm, humid air gets trapped in attics with poor ventilation. Roof leaks from cracked tiles or flashing just speed it up.

Not automatically. Once cracks or seal failures occur, water gets behind the stucco where it can’t evaporate. The surface still looks fine while colonies grow unseen.

If caused by a sudden, accidental event — like a burst pipe — often yes. For long-term leaks, coverage depends on how quickly you act and what documentation you have.

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!

Why Camarillo Homes Face Mold Risk

Agriculture Irrigation – Increases soil and air moisture year-round.

Morning Fog – Valley geography traps it longer than coastal towns.

Aging Ventilation – Crawlspaces and attics often lack proper airflow.

Stucco Cracks – Hide slow leaks and prevent moisture from escaping.

Old Plumbing – Galvanized and copper lines corrode, creating hidden leaks.
