Damage Restoration Services in Tujunga, CA
Tujunga Water Damage Restoration costs anywhere from $1,100 for a small water leak to $40,000+ for a full post-fire debris flow cleanup, and most jobs fall on a spectrum that depends entirely on what came down the canyon. If you’re standing in a wet living room off Foothill Boulevard or watching mud creep through a crawl space on Valmont Street right now, call (855) 915-0646. Wade answers his own phone, and he can have extraction running inside the hour.
We work Tujunga every week. Not Sun Valley, not Glendale, not a dispatch hub three freeways over. Tujunga. The streets, the canyons, the houses built in the 1930s that sit on pier-and-beam foundations with crawl spaces that hold water like a bowl. When something goes wrong at your place, you want someone who already knows what your house is made of and what the hills above it do when it rains. That’s us.

Why Tujunga Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of California
Because the owner’s name is on the truck and he lives with the consequences. Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007, and he still runs jobs himself. That’s not marketing copy. Ask anyone on your street. When you call, you get Wade or one of his crew, and Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log at the end of the job. Almost nobody in this trade does that. That’s the point.
Tujunga homeowners have already been burned by national outfits that quote one price on the phone and another at the door. We don’t play that game. We’re locally owned, owner-operated, IICRC-certified, and RIA-affiliated. We’re background-checked, uniformed, and we use professional-grade equipment from Injectidry, Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, and B-Air. And every water, fire, and our Mold Remediation in Tujunga job comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back.
We know the neighborhoods up here. The older bungalow blocks off Mt. Gleason Avenue around 91042. The hillside homes above Plainview Avenue in 91043. The streets near Verdugo Hills High School where the 2009 Station Fire still colors how people think about rain. None of this is abstract to us.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Tujunga
Water Damage Restoration
A burst pipe in a 1940s cottage with original plumbing is a different job than a supply-line failure in a newer build. We extract, dry, and document everything, handing you a moisture log at the end. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Tujunga.
Mold Remediation
Tujunga’s canyon air holds moisture, and crawl spaces here are notorious for trapping it. We test, contain, remove, and dry so the problem doesn’t come back in eight months. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Tujunga.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
When a house survives a hillside fire but absorbs smoke through the eaves and vents, the damage is invisible and real. We clean, deodorize, and rebuild what needs rebuilding, working directly with your adjuster. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Tujunga.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
Debris flow, mud intrusion, flash flooding from the canyon drainages. This is Tujunga’s signature disaster, and we treat it like the structural and environmental event it is. Extraction first, assessment second, full documentation throughout.
Sewage Cleanup
Backed-up lines into a crawl space or bathroom floor require full containment, disinfection, and disposal under local health codes. This is not a mop-and-go job. We do it to IICRC standards and we write it all down.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
We respond to these with respect and discretion. Full remediation, no shortcuts, no white vans with logos parked out front longer than necessary. Wade handles these personally whenever possible.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the drying is done, someone has to put it back together. We rebuild water-damaged walls, fire-damaged framing, and mud-damaged foundations, and we price it in writing before the first nail goes in.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Tujunga
We work the whole Tujunga footprint, from the flats near Foothill Boulevard up to the canyon mouths. Typical response time to any Tujunga address is under an hour for water and Tujunga Storm & Disaster Restoration emergencies, because Wade dispatches locally from the Los Angeles office and knows these streets without GPS.

Why Tujunga’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Tujunga sits at the mouth of Big Tujunga Canyon directly below the frequently-burned San Gabriel Mountain slopes. When fire strips vegetation from the steep terrain above, the first significant winter rain sends ash-laden mud, boulders, and charred debris cascading through canyon drainages and into residential streets below. We see combined Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Tujunga and flood damage scenarios that require ash-contaminant testing before standard structural drying protocols can even begin. That’s not a hypothetical. That’s what the 2009 Station Fire taught this community, and it’s what we’ve responded to in cycles ever since.
The housing stock here compounds the problem. Much of Tujunga’s homes date to the 1920s through 1950s, originally built as foothill resort bungalows and later supplemented with post-WWII cottages. Many sit on older pier-and-beam or shallow concrete foundations with crawl spaces that trap mud and moisture exceptionally well. Original plumbing and minimal waterproofing mean a debris flow event that would be a nuisance in a newer tract home becomes a full-scale remediation job here. Add in the narrow valley geography that funnels storm runoff from tens of thousands of acres of watershed directly into the community, and you get flood damage far beyond what rainfall totals alone would suggest. Restoration techs in Tujunga frequently encounter jobs that physically survived a nearby wildfire but were then inundated weeks later by toxic ash-mud slurry carrying heavy metals and combustion byproducts. Standard water-damage pricing rarely accounts for the hazmat assessment step those jobs legally require before crews can begin extraction. We do.

FAQs About Damage Restoration in Tujunga
Under an hour for water, storm, and sewage emergencies, because Wade dispatches locally and answers his own phone. Call (855) 915-0646. If it’s after midnight, you’ll still talk to a person, and that person may well be Wade himself.
Often, but it depends on whether your policy includes flood or mudflow coverage, and your adjuster will want documentation. We take photo documentation throughout and deal with your adjuster directly, so you’re not the one relaying information between two sides.
For mud intrusion in Tujunga, you usually need more than a cleaning. Debris from the canyon carries ash, heavy metals, and combustion byproducts that require contaminant testing before drying can begin. If it’s plain water, the answer might be simpler. We’ll tell you honestly which one you’re dealing with before quoting anything.
Wade does. You hire us, we talk to the insurance company, you get the documentation. That’s the job. We’ve done it for homeowners across Tujunga since 2007.
Every water, fire, and mold restoration job we do in Tujunga carries a written promise: if it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. One call brings him back. No fine print, no runaround, no answering service.
If you’re looking at water where it shouldn’t be, or mud where it shouldn’t be, or a ceiling that’s now on the floor, call (855) 915-0646 today. You’ll get a real person, a straight answer, and a written scope before any work starts. That’s how we do it in Tujunga.

What Tujunga Customers Say
"The first company I rang wanted to tear out the hardwood immediately. Wade said if he could get it dry in seventy two hours it would come back, and it did. Saved us the floor and a great deal of money."
- Esperanza Villarreal"Supply line let go under the sink while we were away for the weekend and we came home to two inches through the whole ground floor. Wade had extraction running within the hour of my call and he was the one who answered it."
- Marianne Kilbride"He gave me the daily moisture log at the end, on paper, with the readings from every point. I have never had a trade prove the job was actually finished before."
