Fire damage restoration in Pomona comes with a set of challenges most inland cities don’t face to this degree. Homes built between the 1920s and 1950s, with their original wood framing and clay-tile or wood-shingle roofs, respond to ember intrusion differently than newer construction. And the Santa Ana wind corridor that funnels through the Pomona Valley from October through December doesn’t just spread fire – it drives smoke and ash into wall cavities, attic spaces, and HVAC systems in ways that demand a protocol-driven response. We’re OC Restoration Co, an IICRC-certified restoration firm handling fire, water, and mold damage under one roof. Call (833) 589-7005 when you need a team that already knows what Pomona homes throw at them.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
The housing stock here splits into two distinct eras, and each fails in its own way. In the 91766 ZIP and parts of 91767, you’ll find Pomona’s oldest homes, many from the 1920s through 1950s, built with galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains still in service. When a pipe lets go in one of these houses, the water travels along original lath-and-plaster walls and settles in places modern drywall homes don’t have. That’s a restoration job with wrinkles. The 91768 and 91769 areas lean toward 1960s-through-1980s tract homes and apartment complexes with aging copper plumbing and water heaters past their expected life. Neither era dries the same way.
Climate drives the other half of the equation. Pomona’s dry-hot Mediterranean pattern means June through September pushes A/C condensate lines to fail, and sun-baked roofing on those older homes turns a small crack into an interior leak by winter. Then comes Santa Ana season. The dry wind events don’t just raise fire risk – they push embers toward neighborhoods near the foothills and leave ash on roofs, in chimney boxes, and inside ventilation intakes. Fire damage restoration here nearly always involves water intrusion from firefighting efforts, and smoke odor that has worked its way into original plaster walls and hardwood floors.
Restoration work we handle
Our Main Pomona Services
Two services dominate the calls we field from Pomona homeowners, and we have dedicated local pages for each.
Water Damage Restoration in Pomona
Old galvanized pipes, root-intruded clay sewer lines on the east side, and A/C failures in the summer heat all send water where it shouldn’t go. We extract, dry, and restore using commercial-grade Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment, with structural drying inside wall cavities rather than just surface-level drying. For the full picture on water jobs in Pomona, see Water Damage Restoration in Pomona.
Mold Remediation in Pomona
Where water has sat, mold follows, especially in Pomona’s older plaster walls and poorly vented crawlspaces. Our IICRC-certified mold process includes containment, air scrubbers, and clearance testing, not just spraying and wiping. Learn more on our Mold Remediation in Pomona page.

Fire Damage Restoration in Pomona
Fire damage restoration in Pomona starts with understanding what the Santa Ana winds delivered and what the fire department left behind. Homes near the Angeles National Forest foothills and along the 10/60 corridor face ember-cast risk during wind events, and when a structure fire occurs, suppression water saturates everything the smoke touched. Soot and ash from a Pomona fire often penetrate original lath-and-plaster walls from the 1930s or 1940s, and that residue keeps off-gassing for months if it isn’t addressed with the right chemistry and equipment. Our Fire Damage Restoration process covers the full cascade: structural cleaning, smoke odor removal, and water extraction from the firefight itself, all handled by one certified team.
Smoke Damage Restoration
Signs you need it
Yellowing on walls or ceilings, a persistent campfire smell that returns days after cleaning, or soot streaks near vents and outlets mean smoke residue has settled into surfaces and cavities.
What it costs in Pomona
Smoke damage restoration in Pomona typically runs $800 to $3,500 depending on square footage and whether HVAC ducting needs cleaning.
How we do it
We run HEPA air scrubbers, clean every surface with restoration-specific chemistry, and use Dri-Eaz air movers to force out particles that have embedded in porous materials.
Fire Damage Cleanup
Signs you need it
Visible ash, charred debris, water from fire hoses, or a layer of fine black dust across every surface means the structure needs professional cleanup before restoration can start.
What it costs in Pomona
Fire damage cleanup in Pomona generally falls between $1,500 and $5,000, rising with the level of water saturation from suppression efforts.
How we do it
We remove debris, extract standing water, run commercial dehumidifiers, and bag out non-salvageable materials before sealing the structure for restoration work.
Smoke Odor Removal
Signs you need it
An odor that clings to clothing, returns when windows are closed, or seems to come from inside walls and closets indicates smoke has penetrated porous building materials.
What it costs in Pomona
Smoke odor removal in Pomona typically costs $700 to $2,500, though jobs requiring wall cavity injection or HVAC coil cleaning run higher.
How we do it
We identify odor sources with a thorough inspection, then apply hydroxyl or ozone treatment and thermal fogging to neutralize particles rather than mask them.
What Fire Damage Restoration Costs in Pomona
| Item | Typical range in Pomona |
|---|---|
| Smoke damage restoration | $800 – $3,500 |
| Fire damage cleanup | $1,500 – $5,000 |
| Smoke odor removal | $700 – $2,500 |
Will my insurance cover fire damage restoration in Pomona?
Most homeowner policies in California cover fire, smoke, and the water damage from suppression efforts. We document everything with photos and work directly with your adjuster, because the burden of proving the loss shouldn’t fall on you.
How long does smoke odor removal take in Pomona?
Most smoke odor jobs in Pomona homes finish in two to four days. Homes with original plaster walls sometimes need an extra day for cavity treatment, since 1930s and 1940s construction holds smoke differently than drywall.
Brands We Service in Pomona
We work on Pomona homes regardless of the drying or extraction equipment already installed. Our own fleet runs Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, and Injectidry systems, which means the drying plan we write for your property is executed with the same tools national restoration firms use. See our brands.

Original lath-and-plaster walls, cast-iron drains under concrete slabs, and clay-tile roofs that need patching after a fire all add labor hours. Every job gets a written scope and a line-item price before work starts, so you know what you’re approving.

FAQs About Restoration Company in Pomona
Most Pomona addresses can be reached same-day. The city’s layout along the 10 and 60 freeways gives us solid access from our Corona base, but older neighborhoods with narrow streets sometimes add a few minutes on the truck side.
Most mitigation work, like water extraction, drying, and mold containment, does not require a city permit. Reconstruction involving structural changes can, and we’ll flag that early so you’re never surprised by a stop-work notice.
Yes, that’s the norm rather than the exception in Pomona. Santa Ana-driven fires bring suppression water problems simultaneously, and since we handle water, mold, and fire under one roof, there’s no coordination gap between separate contractors.

What Pomona Customers Say
"They did good work in a bad situation. The equipment was loud and in the house for five days, which is unavoidable but worth being prepared for."
— Travis Schaefer"They cut the drywall at a clean line and only as far up as was actually wet, rather than gutting the whole room."
— Beatriz Rodriguez"Mold behind the shower wall. Contained the area with plastic and negative air before opening it, which is the part that protects the rest of the house."
— Norma Flores
