Keegan Water Damage Restoration is the restoration company Citrus homeowners call when water, fire, or mold has made a mess of a home that was built decades before modern waterproofing existed. Most of the houses and apartments here went up between the 1950s and 1970s, which means original plumbing, stucco exteriors, and cast-iron drain lines that fail in ways newer construction doesn’t. Our crews work across Citrus year-round, and a live person answers at (559) 249-4798 no matter when you call. Every job starts with a written price, a scope of loss, and a plan you can hold us to.
Why Citrus Homes Are Different
Citrus is unincorporated Los Angeles County, and that single fact changes how restoration work gets done. There’s no city building department here. Permits and code enforcement run through the County, which means paperwork moves slower and requirements can differ from neighboring cities like Covina or Azusa. We handle that for you, but it’s one of the first things we explain when a job starts.
The housing stock is the other factor. Citrus has a lot of mid-century ranch-style homes with stucco exteriors and slab foundations, plus multi-family units from the same era. Those homes were built well for their time, but the materials are now 50 to 70 years old. Original cast-iron drain pipes under slab floors corrode and crack as the soil shifts. When that happens, water travels sideways under the slab before it ever shows up on a floor or baseboard. By the time a homeowner sees the damage, the framing and drywall have often been wet for weeks. That’s why mold becomes a concern so quickly after any water event in Citrus, and why our drying protocol includes moisture mapping below grade, not just on visible surfaces.
The climate adds another layer. Summers are hot and dry, which speeds evaporation but also drives moisture deeper into wall cavities and subflooring if drying equipment isn’t placed correctly. Winter rainstorms arrive fast and hit older roof flashing, aging window seals, and exterior stucco cracks hard. We know which failure patterns repeat in this specific housing stock because we work them every season.
Restoration work we handle
Our Main Citrus Services
These are the three services Citrus homeowners call us for most. Each has its own dedicated Citrus page with pricing, timelines, and the specific way we handle that type of damage in this community.
Water Damage Restoration in Citrus
Water jobs in Citrus usually trace back to one of three sources: a slab leak from failing cast-iron drain lines, a supply line rupture inside an original 1960s or 1970s wall, or storm water getting through an aging roof or stucco crack during a heavy winter rain. Each one requires a different response. Slab leaks call for detection before extraction, since the water source under concrete isn’t visible. Supply line failures inside walls mean cutting drywall, tracing the line, and drying the cavity correctly so mold doesn’t take hold. Storm intrusion usually involves roof or exterior repair before interior drying can finish. We document every step with photos and moisture readings formatted for your insurance claim.
Water Damage Restoration in Citrus covers the full process, pricing, and what to expect from first call to final repair.
Fire Damage Restoration in Citrus
Fire damage in Citrus often hits older homes harder than newer ones. The same stucco exteriors that handle heat well also trap smoke and soot inside wall cavities, and older ventilation systems push smoke through rooms that weren’t touched by flame. We work from the source of the fire outward, removing charred materials, sealing the structure, and running air scrubbers sized for the square footage. Plastic and synthetic materials in 1960s and 1970s construction produce a dense, oily soot that requires different chemistry than the light ash from a kitchen fire. Soot left in wall cavities will off-gas for months, which is why our scope always includes cavity cleaning and sealing, not just surface wiping.
Fire Damage Restoration in Citrus explains the full smoke and soot remediation process plus what insurance typically covers.
Mold Remediation in Citrus
Mold in Citrus homes almost always starts with water that was hidden long enough to let spores colonize. The unincorporated nature of the community means many homes weren’t subject to the same inspection standards as newer construction, and slab leaks or roof intrusion can go unnoticed for weeks. Our remediation process starts with finding the moisture source, because treating mold without stopping the water is a wasted effort. We contain the affected area, run negative air pressure, remove contaminated material, and dry the structure to a standard that prevents regrowth. Every mold job includes a written scope and post-remediation documentation for your records and your insurer.

What pushes a Citrus job toward the higher end of these ranges is the age of the home. Original plumbing that’s failed once will likely fail again nearby, and slab leaks under 1960s concrete cost more to access than a leak behind drywall. Regardless of where the number lands, you’ll have it in writing before we touch anything. The price we quote is the price you pay. That’s The Garrison Standard, and we don’t move it at the door.
