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

Mold Remediation in Simi Valley

Full-service property restoration for Simi Valley homeowners and professionals.

Simi Valley looks dry on paper, but inside homes it’s a perfect mold incubator. Warm days push moisture into attics and crawlspaces. Cooler nights trap condensation inside walls. Add a hidden pipe leak, slab seepage, or a roof breach in a winter storm, and colonies start building before you know they’re there.

Mold in Simi Valley doesn’t just stain walls. It degrades framing, contaminates HVAC systems, and loads your indoor air with spores. Left unchecked, it forces full-scale demolition, and that’s before the fight with your insurance carrier begins.

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

Santa Barbara mold doesn’t politely sit on the surface. It burrows into redwood beams, seeps through plaster, rides air currents through 1920s ductwork, and nests in insulation like it’s paid rent. That’s why our approach goes deeper than “spray and pray.”

Inside-Out Removal

  • Framing Access: We open walls and ceilings to reach colonies rooted inside beams and studs — the spots surface cleaners never touch.
  • Insulation Extraction: Any batt or blown-in insulation holding moisture gets removed. Leaving it in place is leaving mold food behind.
  • Ductwork Inspection: HVAC returns and supply lines get scoped for contamination, then sanitized or replaced as needed.

Full Containment From Minute One

Industrial-grade poly sheeting seals the zone. Zippered entry points keep crews moving without releasing spores. Negative air pressure machines pull airborne contaminants out, not into the rest of your home. HEPA scrubbers run continuously, trapping particles and mycotoxins down to 0.3 microns.

Moisture & Migration Tracking

Pin-type moisture meters and thermal imaging map exactly where water has traveled — through plaster, behind built-ins, under hardwood. That data doesn’t just guide the cleanup. It becomes hard evidence for your insurance adjuster.

Structural Drying, Not Cosmetic

We run commercial desiccant dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers until the internal moisture readings, not just the surface, are cleared.

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 Mold Escalates Fast in Simi Valley Homes

Roof Leaks in Seasonal Storms – Wind-driven rain penetrates flashing and vent boots.

Slab Seepage – Water wicks up through foundations into flooring.

Poor Ventilation – Bathrooms, kitchens, and attics trap humid air.

Aging Plumbing – Slow leaks inside walls feed colonies unseen.

Once mold finds a damp, organic surface, growth is exponential. Spores spread through air currents and HVAC systems in hours, making containment the first priority.

Insurance Moves Smarter: How Simi Valley Homeowners Win Claims

Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Common denial tactics:

  • Calling mold “maintenance-related”
  • Claiming it’s “pre-existing”
  • Arguing it’s not from a “sudden and accidental” event

We counter with documented evidence:

  • Timestamps of moisture and spore readings
  • Containment logs
  • Full mitigation records

This forces carriers to cover full remediation, rebuild, and prevention measures—not just patchwork repairs.
