Water Damage
Restoration in Los Angeles and Orange County
A leak, a slab failure, or a sewer backup leaves you dealing with two problems at once: getting the water out and putting the home back together. Built to Perfection is IICRC certified and handles both, so you are not hiring one company to dry the house and another to rebuild it.

What Water Damage Work Covers
Water damage projects range from a single affected room to whole-home reconstruction. Here is what the team handles.
Emergency Water Damage Response
For active leaks and recent flooding. The team addresses the source, dries the affected areas to standard, and removes materials that cannot be saved.
Slab Leak Repair and Reconstruction
Slab leaks damage flooring, framing, and finishes from underneath. The team repairs the leak and rebuilds everything the water touched.
Sewer Backup Cleanup and Repair
Sewer backups contaminate flooring, drywall, and cabinetry. Affected materials are removed and replaced, not dried in place and left.
Mold Remediation After Water Damage
Water that sits creates mold. The team dries to standard and remediates affected materials before any reconstruction begins.
Full Reconstruction After Remediation
Drywall, flooring, cabinetry, paint, tile, plumbing, and electrical, taken back to finished condition by the same team that did the remediation.

"Built to Perfection made my family's home remodel literally a dream come true. The entire team was not only professional and courteous, but just awesome people to work with. The execution of the design was pristine, leaving a finished product that looks exactly like the approved renderings. But what I'm most thankful for is the patience they gave to my wife and I throughout this process.”

"I love my new bathroom! Project manager Shay is professional, friendly, and answered my many questions. He made the remodel process painless and offered design ideas that I didn't even consider. The crews that came in were on time and did a great job. We're happy with the results and they are starting on remodeling our master bath and kitchen. We're happy to recommend them!"

What Water Damage Restoration Costs
Water damage work is scoped individually, because the cost depends on how far the water traveled, how long it sat, and how much of the home has to be rebuilt. For covered losses, the work is scoped against your insurance claim. Out-of-pocket projects follow the same $7,500 project minimum that applies to any Built to Perfection service. Pricing current as of 2026.
Cost Factor | What It Means |
|---|---|
Site and permitting | Lot conditions and the permitting process in your jurisdiction |
Insurance vs. out-of-pocket | Insurance-driven scope vs. custom-home pricing for out-of-pocket rebuilds |
Materials and finishes | Standard vs. higher-end selections |
Home size and layout | Square footage, and whether you rebuild to the original footprint or modify it |
Extent of damage | Partial repair vs. full ground-up rebuild after total loss |
Insurance
Working With Your Insurance Carrier
For covered losses, the team coordinates directly with your insurance carrier and documents the scope so the estimate and the finished work line up. Coverage decisions are made by your carrier, not by Built to Perfection, and every policy is different.
If you only need an estimate to file with your insurer and are not committing to the work yet, that is available as a standalone service for a $1,500 fee. Insurance estimates require specialized software and a full site assessment, which is why they are priced separately.
Common Questions
Call (888) 955-0535 and the office will schedule a project manager to walk the home. Water damage is time sensitive, so these calls move ahead of routine remodel consultations.
No. Most water damage situations involve a remediation company doing the drying and tear-out, then a separate contractor doing the reconstruction. Built to Perfection is certified for both, which means cleaner handoffs and fewer gaps between phases.
Yes. Water that sits creates mold problems. The team dries the affected area to standard and remediates affected materials before reconstruction starts, rather than closing walls over a moisture problem.

A project manager visits the home, walks the affected areas with you, and scopes both the remediation and the reconstruction. There is no charge and no obligation.
