Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Tujunga
Reconstruction and cleanup in Tujunga isn’t a single-service job. It’s a two-season problem. Homes here sit beneath burn-scarred San Gabriel slopes, so the same property often needs smoke and soot remediation after fire season and mud extraction after the first heavy rains. Floodline Restoration Co. handles both, plus the rebuild that follows, with one crew from first assessment to final coat of paint. If you’re looking at water-stained plaster, smoke-damaged framing, or a crawl space full of ash-mixed sediment, call (888) 737-2439. A live dispatcher answers, and a certified crew can reach most Tujunga addresses the same day.
Why Floodline Restoration Co. of California Is Tujunga’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
We’ve been answering calls from Tujunga homeowners long enough to know the difference between a 1920s craftsman bungalow off Foothill Boulevard and a 1960s ranch house up near the canyon. That matters because the plaster walls, wood framing, and masonry foundations in this town don’t dry like newer construction does. Our Reconstruction & Cleanup team reads the moisture map on day one and keeps reading it until the dry standard is met, not when the surface feels dry to the touch.
Every technician who walks into a Tujunga home is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. We document everything: moisture logs, pH readings, photo evidence for your carrier. That’s part of why homeowners in 91042 and 91043 keep our number. It’s also why we back every job with the 90-Day Done Right Promise, the Keystone Standard, in writing. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No arguing, no paperwork battles.
Curt Bowman founded this company in 2010 around a dispatch board, not a sales desk. That’s why you talk to a person when you call, even at 2 a.m. during a debris-flow event when half the canyon is trying to reach someone.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Tujunga
We don’t hand your job off between trades. The same certified crew that extracts the mud and dries the framing rebuilds the wall. Here’s what that looks like in Tujunga specifically.
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a debris flow tears through a crawl space or smoke penetrates wall cavities, the fix isn’t a patch job. We rebuild what needs rebuilding, from framing and insulation to trim and paint. In Tujunga, that often means matching original plaster profiles on 1930s bungalows or sourcing period-appropriate millwork for craftsman homes. We complete most reconstruction scopes in a single mobilization so you’re not living in a construction zone for months.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Tujunga’s older homes have real plaster over wood lath, not drywall. That changes the repair approach. We match texture and thickness, then dry the cavity thoroughly before closing it up. Hardwood floors in these pre-war homes also need careful drying with injection systems like Injectidry rather than surface-only air movement. Sediment-laden water gets under the boards and sits there. We get it out.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
Smoke and mud damage spreads to furniture, rugs, clothing, and keepsakes. We pack out contents from Tujunga homes, clean and restore what’s salvageable, and store it until the rebuild is done. For homeowners with heirlooms in those 1920s cabins, we treat textile and wood restoration as its own trade, not an afterthought to the structural work.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Ash-saturated runoff and post-fire dust settle into carpet fibers and upholstery in ways normal vacuuming never reaches. We use hot-water extraction and professional-grade drying equipment to pull particulate out rather than pushing it deeper. For Tujunga homes that sat through the Station Fire smoke, this is the difference between a room that smells clean and one that still smells like campfire six months later.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tujunga
We run Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers, Phoenix axial air movers, XPOWER fans, B-Air dryers, and Injectidry injection systems on Tujunga jobs because these machines perform when the framing is old-growth fir and the plaster is a hundred years old. We keep replacement parts stocked and serviced so a downed dehumidifier doesn’t stall your drying schedule. Our techs are certified to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards, which means they know how to position this equipment in canyon-mouth homes where Santa Ana winds change the drying calculus.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Tujunga Homes
- Fire-then-flood hybrid damage. Burn-scarred slopes above town shed debris and ash into neighborhoods during the first rains. The same home needs soot neutralization and flood extraction, often on the same visit. Most restorers in flatland LA never see this combination.
- Caustic ash residue in masonry foundations. Ash-mixed water that enters low-course weep holes and crawl space vents is alkaline. Left untreated, it corrodes pipes and etches plaster. We neutralize pH before structural drying begins.
- Undersized drying in canyon-wind conditions. Santa Ana winds accelerate surface drying and fool crews into pulling equipment too early. Moisture stays in 1920s and 1940s wood framing, then cracks and gaps appear months later. We hold equipment longer and verify with daily moisture readings.
- Detached workshops and heavy garage doors on acreage lots. Tujunga still has property where the workshop is a separate structure. We scope those buildings as part of the same job and repair oversized doors, tracks, and openers during the same mobilization so you’re not chasing a second crew.
Pricing for Reconstruction & Cleanup in Tujunga, CA
A full-service reconstruction scope in Tujunga typically runs $8,000 to $35,000 depending on how much framing and finish work the water or smoke damaged. Drywall and flooring repair alone lands between $2,500 and $9,000. Contents pack-out and restoration usually adds $1,500 to $6,000. Carpet and upholstery cleaning runs $300 to $900 per room set. What moves the number is the age of the structure: original plaster, old-growth framing, and minimal vapor barriers mean more labor hours than a newer tract home. We provide a written scope before work starts, so you know the number before we touch the walls. Estimates are free. Call (888) 737-2439.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Tujunga
Because the mud coming off burn-scarred slopes carries caustic ash from earlier wildfires, and that ash is chemically active. It corrodes metal and etches plaster. So even though you only saw mud, the job requires pH neutralization (fire-damage protocol) plus structural drying and mold prevention (flood-damage protocol) on the same visit. This is standard for Tujunga homes after any significant rain following a hillside burn. Call (888) 737-2439 and we’ll assess both risk layers at once.
We don’t tear out what can be saved. For original plaster over wood lath, we inject drying air into the wall cavity using Injectidry systems and run Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers until moisture readings hit the dry standard. Then we repair cracks, match texture, and repaint. Tearing out plaster is a last resort in Tujunga’s older homes, because matching a hundred-year-old wall profile is harder and more expensive than drying it correctly the first time.
Yes. Tujunga’s acreage properties often have detached workshops, barns, and garages with heavier doors and longer service drives. We scope those as part of the same reconstruction and cleanup job. The crew that dries your house also rebuilds the workshop wall and resets the garage door track before they leave. One mobilization, one warranty, one point of contact.
Check your crawl space vents and low-course weep holes first. Ash-mixed sediment water enters through those openings before it ever reaches your living space. If you see mud lines, dark staining, or smell something acrid, call us at (888) 737-2439. The longer caustic sediment sits against your foundation framing and original plaster, the more damage it does. We’ll inspect and document it at no charge.
Yes. We take photos before, during, and after every phase of work. We log daily moisture readings, pH levels, and equipment placement. Then we bill your carrier directly, so you’re not the messenger between us and the adjuster. For Tujunga homeowners who’ve already been through a wildfire claim, having one restoration company that documents both fire and flood damage in one file makes the claim process substantially easier.
