We’re Floodline Restoration Co. of California, and we’ve rebuilt and restored homes from Naples to Wrigley for over 42 years.

Why Floodline Restoration Co. of California Is Long Beach’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
We show up in uniform, background-checked, and certified to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. Long Beach homeowners call us because we answer the phone with a real dispatcher at 2 a.m., not a recording. When the marine layer sits over 90803 and your walls won’t dry, that matters. Floodline has served local communities for over 42 years, founded in 2010 by Curt Bowman and built around a dispatch board, not a sales desk. Our Reconstruction & Cleanup crews live and work in the Los Angeles metro, so we know the drive times to Signal Hill, the parking realities near Poly High, the difference between a Belmont Shore craftsman and a Wrigley mid-century.
What really separates us in Long Beach: we don’t stop at extraction. We handle debris removal, structural drying, drywall and flooring rebuild, and final cleanup with the same certified crew. No handoff. No dispatcher-to-subcontractor telephone game. The 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, says if it’s not done right, we make it right. Homeowners never play messenger between us and the insurance carrier. We bill the carrier directly. We stand behind the work.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Long Beach
Full-Service Reconstruction
From framing to finish paint, our crews rebuild what water, fire, or time has taken. In Long Beach’s pre-WWII bungalows around Rose Park, that often means opening lathe-and-plaster walls and matching original dimensions and sightlines. We don’t patch and walk away; we restore the room to function and original character. Most jobs are completed in a single visit using professional-grade Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, B-Air, and Injectidry equipment, moisture-mapped from day one.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Long Beach’s ground-level homes sit on slab foundations, many shifted by decades of Wilmington oil field subsidence. Water follows the cracks. We repair the slab penetration, replace damaged drywall, and refinish flooring to match the surrounding area. For homes in 90802 and 90805 with original galvanized supply lines and single-pane jalousie windows, condensation inside wall cavities is a chronic problem. We open the wall, remediate, and rebuild so mold doesn’t return in eight months.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a kitchen fire or a sewage backup hits a Long Beach apartment block, your belongings need to move fast and come back clean. We pack out contents, inventory them for insurance, clean and restore what’s salvageable, and store everything until the rebuild is finished. For homeowners in 90840 with family pieces and paperwork, the inventory process gives you a clear record for the carrier. We handle the adjuster coordination.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Salt-laden air settles into fabric. Long Beach carpets near the ocean hold more moisture and collect more particulate than anything inland. We deep-clean carpets and upholstery, including water-damaged or smoke-damaged pieces, and we can treat for odor and microbial growth. If the piece can’t be saved, we document it for insurance and replace it as part of the reconstruction scope.

Trusted Brands We Service in Long Beach
We maintain strong relationships with local parts suppliers so your Long Beach job doesn’t wait on a warehouse three states away. Our techs are certified to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards, and we run Dri-Eaz and Phoenix drying equipment plus Injectidry systems for hard-to-reach wall cavities. If a specialty part for a jalousie window or a 1930s lath profile needs sourcing, we know the suppliers in the South Bay who carry it. Fast turnaround keeps your rebuild on schedule.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Long Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on hardware and fasteners. Springs, hinges, rollers, and tracks on garage doors and metal framing corrode years faster within two miles of San Pedro Bay than they do inland. We replace with galvanized or coated components and stainless fasteners wherever possible.
- Marine layer humidity extending drying times. Coastal neighborhoods hold 80-90% relative humidity well into midday. Crews that pull drying equipment too early leave hidden moisture in wall cavities. We run daily moisture readings and keep equipment deployed until the dry standard is met.
- Subsidence cracks in mid-century slab foundations. Wilmington oil field extraction shifted the ground under the harbor district. Those micro-shifts crack slab penetrations, creating hidden pathways for groundwater wicking. Standard crews miss them; we look for them on every water-loss inspection.
- Asbestos and lead-paint protocols on pre-1933 construction. The 1933 Long Beach earthquake led to widespread repairs, and much of that work used materials now regulated. Our IICRC-certified crews follow required containment and disposal protocols on every affected project.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Long Beach
Salt-laden air within a mile or two of the harbor corrodes springs, hinges, rollers, and tracks two to three times faster than inland areas like 90808. We replace failed components with galvanized or coated springs, stainless fasteners, and nylon rollers where they fit the door. A corrosion inspection during any reconstruction job catches problems before a spring snaps. Call (888) 737-2439 and we’ll take a look.
Yes. In Naples, especially 90803, king tides and storm surge push seawater up through floor drains and slab penetrations. That’s saltwater intrusion, which triggers Category 3 water loss protocols and requires longer, more aggressive drying than a typical rain leak. We deploy Dri-Eaz LGR 7000XLi units and Injectidry systems in wall cavities, and we account for tidal timing when scheduling extraction.
Pre-WWII bungalows in Rose Park, Wrigley, and the Poly High corridor often have slab penetrations cracked by Wilmington oil field subsidence. Water seeps up through those cracks year-round, not just during storms. Original galvanized supply lines and jalousie windows also weep condensation into wall cavities. We open the walls, document the intrusion points for your insurance carrier, and rebuild the affected areas properly.
Many Long Beach homes repaired after the 1933 earthquake contain materials now regulated under California asbestos and lead-paint laws. Any reconstruction that disturbs walls, ceilings, or flooring built before 1978 triggers containment and disposal protocols. Our IICRC-certified crews handle the testing, containment, and proper disposal, and we document everything for your carrier.
In 90802 apartment blocks, original galvanized supply lines and single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows create chronic condensation inside wall cavities. The marine layer keeps humidity high, so surface cleaning never fixes the hidden moisture inside the wall. The cavity itself stays wet. We open the wall, dry the cavity to standard with professional equipment, treat the framing, and rebuild with materials that don’t trap moisture. Call (888) 737-2439 for an inspection and a written scope.
