24/7 Emergency Service | IICRC-Certified | Locally Owned & Operated | Fast Response Time
Cupped hardwood floors don’t always need to be ripped out. If we reach your Corona del Mar property within the first 24 hours after water damage, Orange County Restoration Services can often use specialized drying techniques to save your beautiful floors – and save you the nightmare and expense of complete replacement. The same principle applies to wet cabinets, custom millwork, and other expensive materials. Most contractors see water damage and see a demolition job. We see a restoration challenge. By using targeted drying methods, moisture monitoring, and proven techniques, we can often preserve materials that other companies would simply tear out and discard.
This philosophy – save everything that can be saved, replace only what truly can’t be restored – has saved Corona del Mar property owners thousands in unnecessary demolition and reconstruction costs. When water invades your home, you need a team focused on restoration, not just extraction and demolition.
Our team holds the credentials that matter for professional restoration work. IICRC Water Damage Restoration Certification represents the industry standard for water mitigation, ensuring we follow scientifically backed drying protocols rather than guesswork. IICRC Mold Remediation Certification covers proper containment, removal, and treatment procedures to protect both your property and your health during mold situations.
These aren’t just badges displayed on a website. They represent ongoing training, rigorous testing, and continuing education that translates directly to better outcomes for your Corona del Mar property. When we assess moisture levels, position drying equipment, or determine whether materials can be saved, we’re applying proven industry best practices backed by building science and years of field experience.
Our leadership brings decades of industry experience to every Corona del Mar restoration project. We’ve seen every type of water damage scenario – from minor leaks to major flooding – and know exactly how to approach each situation for optimal results. Combined with state-of-the-art equipment and a genuine commitment to doing the work right, our certifications and experience mean your property receives the professional care it deserves.
Water emergencies take many forms in Corona del Mar properties. Burst pipes can flood living areas within minutes, requiring immediate extraction before water migrates into wall cavities and subfloors. Slab leaks hide beneath foundations, slowly causing damage that might not be discovered until flooring starts buckling or water bills spike unexpectedly. Water heater failures dump 40-50 gallons into homes without warning, often during off-hours when discovery is delayed.
We also handle washing machine overflows, dishwasher malfunctions, toilet backups, roof leaks during winter storms, and air conditioning condensate problems. Each scenario demands rapid professional response to minimize damage and prevent the secondary issues – mold growth, structural weakening, material warping – that occur when moisture lingers.
Our truck-mounted extraction units remove standing water quickly and efficiently. For second-floor situations or properties where vehicle access is limited, we deploy portable extractors that deliver the same professional results. Extraction isn’t just about removing visible water – it’s about pulling moisture from carpets, padding, and porous materials before it has time to wick deeper into the structure.
Once standing water is removed, the real work begins. We place commercial air movers to create controlled airflow patterns that break the moisture bond in materials. Industrial dehumidifiers extract humidity from the air, preventing moisture from settling into wood, drywall, and contents. This combination of mechanical air movement and humidity control ensures complete drying, even in Corona del Mar’s coastal climate where natural drying is slowed by marine air.
Category 3 water (sewage) introduces serious health hazards that require professional intervention. We establish full containment, remove all contaminated materials that can’t be properly sanitized, treat all surfaces with EPA-registered antimicrobials, and use HEPA filtration to eliminate airborne contaminants. Our team follows IICRC mold remediation protocols to ensure your Corona del Mar property won’t just look clean – it will meet the safety standards necessary for healthy occupancy.

Coastal properties also experience temperature variations between interior conditioned spaces and exterior marine air, creating condensation issues that can exacerbate water damage. The combination of natural humidity, salt exposure, and weather patterns means Corona del Mar homes need more than just surface drying after water incidents – they need comprehensive moisture removal and monitoring to prevent long-term problems.
Many Corona del Mar properties include high-end finishes and materials: custom hardwood floors, specialty tile work, expensive cabinetry, and architectural details that can’t be easily replaced. This makes the preservation approach even more critical. Professional restoration that prioritizes saving materials whenever possible protects both your property investment and the unique character that makes Corona del Mar homes special.
Water damage restoration follows a systematic process designed to address immediate concerns while preventing future problems. When you contact Orange County Restoration Services at (949) 828-2399, emergency dispatch begins immediately. Our IICRC-certified team typically arrives at your Corona del Mar property within 60 minutes, bringing all necessary extraction and drying equipment.
The restoration process starts with thorough assessment and documentation. We identify the water source and stop it if still active, determine water category (clean, gray, or black water), document all affected areas with moisture readings and photos, and develop a comprehensive restoration plan. This documentation protects your insurance claim and ensures nothing gets overlooked during restoration.
Next comes water extraction – removing all standing water and beginning the drying process. We place air movers and dehumidifiers strategically throughout affected areas, creating optimal conditions for rapid drying. But placement is just the first step. We return daily to monitor moisture levels with professional meters, adjusting equipment positions as materials dry. This ongoing monitoring ensures we catch any areas that aren’t drying properly before they become problems.
The drying phase continues until every affected material reaches acceptable moisture content. We don’t rely on touch or appearance – we use calibrated moisture meters to verify dry conditions before removing equipment. This attention to detail prevents the scenario where surfaces feel dry but interior materials remain saturated, setting up conditions for mold growth and structural issues.
Finally, we handle necessary repairs and coordinate reconstruction when needed. This might involve replacing damaged drywall sections, treating affected framing, refinishing floors, or working with trusted partners for larger reconstruction projects. Throughout every phase, we maintain clear communication with you and your insurance adjuster, ensuring everyone stays informed and the restoration moves forward efficiently.
Dealing with water damage is stressful enough without worrying about the restoration process. Our team handles everything – from initial assessment through final repairs – so you can focus on what matters most. At Orange County Restoration Services, we don’t just restore property; we restore peace of mind.
Reach out to us at (949) 828-2399 and let us take it from here. Available 24/7 for emergencies, because water damage doesn’t wait for convenient hours. Whether you’re facing an active emergency or discovered damage that needs attention, our Corona del Mar team is ready to respond with the expertise and care your property deserves.
When water damage isn’t addressed within 24-48 hours, mold growth becomes increasingly likely in Corona del Mar’s coastal humidity. Our mold remediation services follow IICRC protocols: establishing containment to prevent spore spread, removing affected materials that can’t be salvaged, treating all surfaces with antimicrobial agents, and using HEPA filtration to clean the air throughout the work area.
More importantly, we identify and address the underlying moisture problem that allowed mold to grow in the first place. Surface mold removal without fixing the moisture source just delays the inevitable – the mold will return. Our comprehensive approach treats both the visible mold and the conditions that created it, preventing recurrence and protecting your property long-term.
Fire damage to Corona del Mar properties typically includes water damage from firefighting efforts, creating a complex restoration situation. Smoke, soot, water, and structural concerns all need to be addressed systematically. At Orange County Restoration Services, we provide complete fire damage restoration: emergency board-up to secure your property, water extraction from firefighting, smoke odor removal using specialized techniques, soot and residue cleaning, and coordination with reconstruction partners when structural repairs are needed.
We work with specialized content cleaning partners when salvageable belongings need professional treatment. Fire damage is overwhelming and complicated – having one company manage the entire restoration from initial emergency response through final repairs simplifies the process and gives you a single point of accountability throughout the timeline.
Immediately. Water damage compounds by the hour, and mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours in Corona del Mar’s humid coastal climate. The sooner professional extraction and drying begin, the more materials we can save and the lower your overall restoration costs. Call (949) 828-2399 the moment you discover water damage – we’re available 24/7 for emergencies.
Most homeowner policies cover sudden water damage from events like burst pipes, appliance failures, or roof leaks during storms. Coverage varies for flooding, gradual leaks, and resulting mold growth. We document everything thoroughly using Xactimate software (the same system insurance companies use) and work directly with your adjuster to support your claim and ensure proper coverage.
Sometimes – it depends on water type, exposure duration, and how quickly professional drying begins. Clean water from burst pipes often allows restoration if we arrive within the first 24 hours. We use specialized drying techniques like injectidry mats that draw moisture through the boards, potentially saving your expensive hardwood floors without replacement. Prolonged exposure or contaminated water typically requires replacement for safety and structural reasons.
We serve all of Orange County, including Newport Beach, Balboa Island, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Irvine, and surrounding communities. Based in Irvine, we maintain a rapid response capability throughout the region. If you’re unsure whether you’re in our service area, call (949) 828-2399 and we’ll let you know immediately.
Usually not for standard water damage. You may need to avoid specific rooms during active drying, but most Corona del Mar residents can remain in unaffected parts of their homes. For contaminated water situations like sewage backups or if damage affects critical living areas, temporary relocation might be safer and more comfortable while restoration work is underway.
Our technicians are IICRC certified in water damage restoration and mold remediation. These certifications represent industry-standard training in moisture detection, structural drying protocols, contamination control, and proper restoration techniques. IICRC certification means your Corona del Mar property receives professional treatment based on building science and proven methods, not guesswork.
