Real Restoration Case Studies

The projects below are real restoration jobs completed by SOS Restoration, documented on-site by our technicians. Each one reflects the actual equipment, techniques, and timelines involved, not a hypothetical example.

Camarillo, CA – Extensive Mold Remediation and Structural Drying

This multi-room property required an extensive mold remediation, with contamination significant enough that our technicians removed drywall and insulation down to the studs and subfloor across multiple rooms, including the kitchen. The work was documented over roughly three weeks, from initial demolition and HEPA vacuuming of exposed framing through antimicrobial treatment and structural drying, ahead of reconstruction.

Lancaster, CA – Water Damage Structural Drying

After water intrusion affected the base of the walls, our team performed a flood cut to remove the affected drywall and set up professional-grade air movers and a dehumidifier to dry the exposed studs and framing, preventing secondary mold growth before repairs began.

Torrance, CA – Mold Remediation and Antimicrobial Treatment

Following drywall removal in an affected room, our technician applied an antimicrobial treatment to the exposed studs and framing to eliminate remaining spores and help prevent regrowth before the wall could be closed back up.

Santa Monica, CA – Bathroom Mold and Ventilation Remediation

Bathroom exhaust vents are a common, often overlooked source of hidden mold growth. Our technician used a HEPA-filtered vacuum system to clean the ductwork and surrounding area, addressing the contamination at its source rather than just the visible surface.
