When water, fire, smoke or mold damages your property, Anderson Group International’s Bakersfield office sends local crews to Taft 24 hours a day, from emergency response through the finished repair. Call 1-800-994-7575 or our Bakersfield office at (661) 587-4700.

Water Damage Restoration in Taft

Summer temperatures regularly top 100°F, so air conditioners and evaporative coolers run for months and their drain lines are a common source of hidden leaks. Water heaters, supply lines and slab leaks are just as common.

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 Taft

Grass fires, agricultural burns and kitchen and electrical fires are the main fire risks, and wildfire smoke from the Sierra often settles over the southern valley. 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 Taft

Dry air doesn’t make a home mold-proof. Mold here usually starts with a hidden leak under a sink, around a water heater or above a ceiling where an AC line drains. 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

Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Taft?

Most policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe or failed water heater, but not long-term leaks or outside flooding, which needs separate flood insurance. Check your policy and call your insurer early; we document the damage for your adjuster.

Can I stay in my home during restoration?

After many water losses you can stay home while drying equipment runs. After a fire, a sewage backup or during mold removal, we may recommend staying elsewhere until the work area is safe.

Can I remove mold myself?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says homeowners can often clean mold patches smaller than about 10 square feet. Larger areas, mold inside walls or ducts, or mold after sewage water should be handled by professionals.

Testimonial

Trusted by millions of Customers

The Lead Technician and support Technician that came out the previous two days at another job in the complex were extremely impressive with their skills and the communication in front of the homeowner. I am very impressed.

He made the process run very smoothly, and as I said, he checked in on us during the process to make sure that we were happy with the services we were receiving. Additionally, he made sure that the mold levels were testing at normal levels and made suggestions that eased my mind and helped us learn how to avoid future issues. I would definitely recommend him and AGI.

I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to Anderson Group’s performance on the recent Mold Remediation job completed.
