Water Damage, Fire Damage & Mold Remediation in San Francisco, CA

San Francisco’s Victorians, Edwardians, row houses and high-rise condos sit close together, so water or smoke in one home often reaches the next. Fog and ocean air in neighborhoods like the Sunset and the Richmond keep walls and crawl spaces damp for much of the year.

When water, fire, smoke or mold damages your property, Anderson Group International’s San Jose office sends local crews to San Francisco 24 hours a day, from emergency response through the finished repair. Call 1-800-994-7575 or our San Jose office at (408) 954-1400.

Water Damage Restoration in San Francisco

Fog, ocean air and winter storms keep coastal homes damp for months, so a roof leak or failed supply line has little chance to dry out on its own. In multi-unit buildings, a leak upstairs can affect several units, and we work with owners, HOAs and tenants to dry every affected space.

We inspect and map where the water has gone, extract standing water, and dry the structure with commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, checking moisture readings until everything is dry. Learn more about our water damage restoration services.

Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration in San Francisco

Older wood-frame homes, close-set houses and shared walls mean smoke can travel quickly between rooms and even between units. After a fire, we secure the property with board-up and tarping, remove soot and smoke odor, and clean or store belongings through our contents restoration service. Our residential construction team handles the rebuild. See our fire and smoke damage restoration services.

Mold Remediation and Mold Removal in San Francisco

The marine layer keeps indoor humidity high for much of the year. Bathrooms, closets on exterior walls, window frames and crawl spaces are where we find mold most often, especially in homes with limited ventilation. Our mold remediation team stops the moisture source, contains the work area under negative air pressure, removes mold-damaged materials, cleans remaining surfaces with HEPA equipment and dries the area so mold doesn’t return.

What to Do Before We Arrive

  • Water: Shut off the main water valve and, if it’s safe to reach the panel, the power to wet rooms. Take photos before moving anything.
  • Fire and smoke: Stay out until firefighters clear the building, keep the HVAC system off and don’t wipe soot.
  • Mold: Don’t scrub or spray large patches. Close the room off and stop the water source if you can.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you get to my home in San Francisco?

Our emergency line is answered 24 hours a day, every day, and San Francisco is served by our San Jose office. Call 1-800-994-7575 and we’ll give you an arrival estimate on the phone.

How long does it take to dry out a house after a leak?

Most homes take three to five days of drying with professional equipment, depending on how much water there was and which materials got wet. We take moisture readings every day and only remove equipment once the readings show the structure is dry.

Should I clean soot myself after a small fire?

It’s best not to. Wiping soot smears it into paint, fabric and grout, and some soot is acidic and keeps damaging surfaces. Professional cleaning with the right products usually saves more of your belongings.
