What damages homes in Malibu

• Wildfire smoke, soot, and ash. Malibu has burned many times. The 2018 Woolsey Fire destroyed hundreds of homes in Malibu. The Franklin Fire hit the area around Pepperdine and Malibu Canyon in December 2024, and the January 2025 Palisades Fire burned into eastern Malibu. Homes that didn't burn can still be full of fine ash, soot, and smoke odor, inside walls, attics, HVAC ducts, fabrics, and decks. We clean that out carefully and document it for your claim.
• Mudflows and runoff after fires. When the hillsides above a burn area lose their plants, winter rain runs off much faster and can carry mud and debris. That puts water and mud into lower floors, garages, and crawl spaces of canyon and hillside homes. We extract it, clean, and dry the structure.
• Coastal moisture and mold. Ocean-facing homes and beach houses sit in salt air and frequent marine fog. Moisture builds up on cool walls, window frames, and in closets against outside walls, and mold grows there. We remove the mold and find the source, whether that's condensation, a window leak, or a failed seal.
• Septic system backups. Much of Malibu has no city sewer and relies on onsite septic systems. When a system backs up, sewage can come up through drains and toilets. We handle the cleanup and disinfection while your septic contractor fixes the system.
• Long drives and road closures. Pacific Coast Highway and the canyon roads close for fires, rockslides, and storms. We serve Malibu from our Van Nuys base, and when PCH is closed we route through the canyon roads — if access is blocked, we call you back with an updated ETA.

Malibu Restoration FAQ

Who cleans smoke and ash out of a Malibu house that didn't burn?

We do. We HEPA-vacuum ash, clean soot from surfaces, treat smoke odor, and clean or recommend cleaning of the HVAC system, and we document everything for your insurance. Call (747) 281-3872.

Is smoke damage covered if the fire never reached my home?

Many homeowners policies cover smoke and ash damage from a nearby wildfire, but every policy is different. We document the damage with photos and notes, bill your insurance directly, and work with your adjuster.

Mud came into my Malibu home after a storm. Can you help?

Yes. After a fire, hillsides can shed water and mud quickly. We remove mud and water, take out damaged materials, clean, and dry the structure. Stay out of areas officials have flagged as unsafe.

Do you handle septic backups in Malibu?

Yes, we clean up and disinfect after a septic backup. You'll still need a septic contractor to repair or pump the system itself.

Why is there mold in my beach house closet?

Closets and cabinets on ocean-facing walls stay cool and damp in the marine fog, which is just what mold likes. We do the mold clean-out and help you fix the moisture. Testing is done by an independent outside tester.

How long does it take you to get to Malibu?

Our base is in Van Nuys, about 22 miles in a straight line, and drive time depends on PCH and canyon roads. We provide fast 24/7 response. Call for a real ETA.
