Fire damage restoration in Pomona means working inside a housing stock that was largely built before 1960, where plaster walls, pier-and-beam foundations, and original roof framing react to heat and water differently than modern construction. When a kitchen fire or an electrical event happens in the 91766 flats or up near the foothills, the damage spreads through materials most newer homes don’t even have. San Bernardino Restoration Co has served Pomona since 2016, and we’ve learned that every job here starts with the same question: what did the smoke get into, and how far did the water used to put out the fire actually travel. Call us at (877) 358-7678 when you need a team that reads the structure, not just the surface.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona sits at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, where the alluvial fan meets an older, densely built core, and that geography splits the city into two distinct restoration profiles. In the flats south of the 10, around ZIP 91766 and pockets of 91768, clay-heavy soils and mature root systems push winter storm water into raised foundations and crawlspaces. Those pier-and-beam homes, many built before 1950 with original galvanized plumbing, drain poorly and hide moisture for weeks. Further north, toward the foothills and ZIP 91769, Santa Ana winds drive exterior damage, roof failures at flashings and penetrations, and wildfire-adjacent smoke and ash intrusion during the fall. The semi-arid climate dries out wood framing, roofing, and caulking between rains, so a small leak can spread through a wall cavity long before any stain shows on the plaster. One storm system produces two completely different calls in Pomona, and a restoration plan that works in the flats does not transfer to the foothills.
Restoration work we handle
Our Main Pomona Services
Most Pomona property owners call us for one of two reasons: water got somewhere it shouldn’t have, or mold showed up after the water was ignored. Both jobs share a root cause here, which is the age of the building stock and the way it hides moisture.
Water Damage Restoration in Pomona
Older Pomona homes hide water in exactly the places insurance adjusters have the hardest time documenting: behind plaster, under pier-and-beam floors, inside original lath and channel junctions. Our first move on a water job in the 91766 or 91768 flats is a floor-plan moisture map, not a quick visual once-over, because the soil grading and aged framing route water away from the obvious spill. We run commercial-grade Phoenix and Dri-Eaz extraction and drying equipment, take moisture readings at every stage, and dry the structure until the numbers say done, not until the surface feels dry. Read more about how we handle this specifically in Pomona at Water Damage Restoration in Pomona.
Mold Remediation in Pomona
The dry heat between storms can make a Pomona crawlspace feel bone-dry on the surface while the subfloor framing above it stays wet for months, which is exactly where hidden mold colonies start. We see it most often in pre-1950 homes around the 91766 core, where raised foundations and original ventilation patterns were never designed for the way runoff actually moves today. Remediation here means containing the affected area, removing contaminated material, treating the remaining surfaces, and addressing the moisture source so the colony does not return. That last part is the difference between cleanup and resolution. The full Pomona-specific scope is at Mold Remediation in Pomona.

Fire Damage Restoration in Pomona
Fire damage restoration in Pomona is a different job than it is in newer subdivisions, because the smoke from a fire in a pre-1960 home penetrates plaster walls, tongue-and-groove subfloors, and old framing in ways that sheetrock and engineered lumber simply do not. Add the Santa Ana season, when a small exterior fire or a neighbor’s brush event drives smoke and fine ash into window frames, attics, and HVAC returns up in the foothill-adjacent neighborhoods, and you get a restoration call that has very little in common with a straightforward kitchen fire. We handle the full sequence, from board-up and smoke mitigation through structural cleaning and final repair, under one IICRC-certified protocol. Fire Damage Restoration is the most time-sensitive of the three disciplines because smoke residues become more acidic and more embedded into surfaces with every day they sit.
Smoke Damage Restoration
Signs you need it
You smell smoke or see a yellow-brown film on walls, ceilings, or inside cabinets in rooms nowhere near the original fire.
What it costs in Pomona
Smoke damage restoration in Pomona typically falls between $2,500 and $7,500 depending on square footage, surface type, and how long residues have sat on plaster and painted wood.
How we do it
We seal off unaffected areas, HEPA-vacuum loose particulate, clean every washable surface with residue-specific agents, and run activated-carbon or ozone filtration until air samples clear the control threshold.
Smoke Odor Removal
Signs you need it
You’ve cleaned the visible soot but the odor returns within hours when doors and windows are closed, which points to residues inside wall cavities, ductwork, or under-floor framing.
What it costs in Pomona
Smoke odor removal in Pomona generally runs from $1,200 to $4,000, with the higher end for homes where odor has been pulled into HVAC ducts or unsealed crawlspace framing.
How we do it
We identify the hidden reservoirs using a thermal-humidity sweep, treat enclosed cavities with vapor-phase or thermal fogging, and seal or replace absorbent materials that cannot be fully desorbed of odor.
What Fire Damage Restoration Costs in Pomona
| Item | Typical range in Pomona |
|---|---|
| Smoke damage restoration | $2,500 – $7,500 |
| Smoke odor removal | $1,200 – $4,000 |
| Full fire damage restoration | $4,000 – $18,000+ |
How soon can you start on a fire job in Pomona?
Board-up and mitigation can usually begin the same day, because smoke and soot are actively degrading materials every hour they sit. Full structural repair is scoped and scheduled in writing once the damage is mapped.
Does fire damage restoration include working with my insurance?
Yes. We document every stage with photos, moisture readings, and a written scope, then coordinate directly with your adjuster so the claim reflects the actual condition of the structure. Call (877) 358-7678 to walk through your situation.

Two things push a Pomona restoration bill higher than the same job in a newer city: the age of the structure and the way smoke or water travels through materials that are no longer code-compliant to replace cheaply. Plaster repair, subfloor access from a crawlspace, and disposal of materials installed before modern regulations all add labor hours that a tract home from the 1990s would not require. You will get a written scope and a locked price before any work starts, which means the number we quote is the number you approve.

FAQs About Restoration Company in Pomona
We handle mitigation, drying, remediation, and restoration repairs under one scope. Structural rebuild work beyond restoration scope is coordinated with licensed trades, but you are never left managing separate contractors for the restoration phase.
Mitigation and drying work typically does not require a city permit, but repair work that touches electrical, plumbing, or structural framing often does. We flag any permit requirements in the written scope before that phase begins, and we pull what is required for scoped repairs.
That is the most common fire call here, because suppression water soaks the same older materials the smoke penetrates. We sequence the work: secure the site, extract standing water, begin structural drying, then treat smoke residues once the moisture levels are stable. One team runs the entire sequence, so nothing gets missed between handoffs.
