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.

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

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
