Why people call us and not the franchise.

Two licenses, one contract

We dry it and we rebuild it. Most restoration companies are not licensed for the second half.

We are electricians too

Flooded panels and wet circuits get handled on day one, not after somebody else is called in.

Documented for your claim

Photos, moisture maps and daily drying logs go straight to your adjuster.

Our own crews

W-2 technicians. The people who show up on day one are the people who finish the job.

From your call to the last coat of paint.

  1. 01

    You call

    We tell you how to shut the water and the power off safely, before we even leave.

  2. 02

    We stabilize

    Source stopped, water out, electrical made safe, everything photographed first.

  3. 03

    We dry

    Equipment stays until the moisture readings hit dry standard. Logged every day.

  4. 04

    We rebuild

    Drywall, flooring, paint and electrical, under the same contract.

Drag the handle. Same room, same job.

Your Insurance Claim

We document it so the claim does not stall.

Photos before anything is touched, moisture readings logged every day, and an itemized scope your adjuster can check line by line. We work with all major carriers and their adjusters.

How it works
  • We never negotiate or adjust your claim. That is a licensed public adjuster's job, not a contractor's.
  • We will never discount your deductible. In California that is insurance fraud.

The Peninsula, the South Bay and Santa Cruz.

San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. Our crews already work this footprint every day. That is why we can get to you instead of routing a truck in from somewhere else.

Questions people ask at 2 a.m.

We answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and dispatch straight from the call. Water spreads through drywall, subfloor, and insulation within hours, so the first priority is stopping the source and getting extraction started the same visit, not booking you for a survey next week.

No. Call us first and stop the damage. Most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent a loss from getting worse, and waiting for an adjuster while water sits is the opposite of that. We document everything from the moment we arrive: photos, moisture maps, daily drying logs, and a written scope. That documentation is what your adjuster needs to process the claim, and we provide it directly to them.

We work directly with your carrier and adjuster, provide the full documentation package, and write our scope in the format carriers expect. We do not negotiate or adjust the claim on your behalf. Under California law that is the role of a licensed public adjuster, not a contractor. What we do is make sure the loss is documented so thoroughly that there is very little left to argue about.

Most restoration companies dry the property out and then hand you off to a general contractor to put it back together, which means a second bid, a second schedule, and a gap where nobody owns the project. YKCA holds both a C-10 electrical and a General B building license, so the same team extracts the water, dries the structure, makes the electrical safe, and rebuilds the drywall, flooring, and finishes. One contract and one schedule, so there is no gap where nobody owns the project.

Because water and electricity fail together. Flooded outlets, soaked panels, corroded breakers, and wet junction boxes are routine on a water loss, and they are exactly what a C-10 crew is trained to find and make safe. Most restoration outfits have to call in an electrician for that part. We are the electrician. That is why the safety check happens on day one instead of after the drywall is already back up.

A typical residential water loss dries in three to five days with air movers and dehumidifiers running continuously, though heavily saturated hardwood, plaster, or multi-level losses can take longer. We take moisture readings daily and log them, and the equipment stays until the materials hit dry standard, not until a fixed number of days has passed.

Yes. Offices, retail, restaurants, and multi-unit buildings across the Peninsula and the Bay Area. Commercial losses usually come with a business-interruption clock attached, so containment and phased drying that keeps part of the space operating is normally the first thing we plan.

Every hour water sits, the repair gets bigger.

Call and we will walk you through shutting things down safely before our truck even leaves. Free inspection, and we bill your carrier directly where they allow it.
