The San Gabriel Valley trade behind SOS Restoration
Local, answering the phone around the clock, and drying to the IICRC S500 standard. Here is who arrives when an older Pasadena home takes on water.
Your local Pasadena water damage crew
SOS Restoration is a water damage restoration resource for Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley. When water floods a home, a real person answers the phone, live, any hour of the day or night.
Local crews respond across Pasadena and the west San Gabriel Valley, day or night. From a Craftsman bungalow in Bungalow Heaven to a mid-century home in Hastings Ranch, the response team gets a crew moving fast and treats the home with care.
What the work covers
Crews handle every stage of a water loss under one roof, so you only ever make one call. That starts with emergency water extraction and structural drying, and runs through mold remediation, sewage cleanup, storm and debris-flow cleanup, and slab leak and burst pipe cleanup, all the way back to the way your home was before. One crew stays with the job from the first pump to the last dry moisture reading.
Why Pasadena homeowners call
Crews dry to the IICRC S500 standard for water damage restoration and structural drying, so the work is done to a real standard and not by guesswork. The loss is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, the paperwork an adjuster needs to move a claim. And the crew at your door is a local team that answers the Pasadena line directly.
Built for older Pasadena homes and foothill weather
The trade here is built for the way water shows up. Much of the city is Craftsman bungalows and mid-century homes, where aging galvanized and cast-iron lines split behind the walls and copper supply lines corrode inside the slab. Homes at the base of the San Gabriels take on foothill runoff and, after the 2025 Eaton and 2020 Bobcat fires, mud and debris off the burn scars. Winter atmospheric-river storms and hard water round out a set of local patterns the crews plan the response around, so the damage gets stopped before it spreads.
