Water Damage Restoration & Emergency Services in San Diego
When water damage strikes your San Diego home or business, every minute counts — and Fadox Construction & Restoration is the team you call. As a fully licensed California General Contractor and IICRC Certified restoration company, we don't just dry out your property and leave. We handle the entire process: emergency water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, full reconstruction, and direct coordination with your insurance carrier — all under one roof, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year including every holiday.
Most restoration companies are mitigation-only — they stop at drying and hand you off to a separate contractor for repairs. Fadox is different. Our CA General Contractor License #1059186 means we can rebuild what was damaged: drywall, flooring, cabinetry, structural framing, and everything in between. That's one point of contact, one accountable team, and a faster path back to normal for your family or business.
From water damage restoration in San Diego to fire damage restoration services, mitigation services in San Diego, and full remodeling and reconstruction — Fadox is San Diego's most complete restoration contractor.

Real Project: Mission Hills Burst Pipe — Full Restoration
📋 Project Summary
A homeowner in Mission Hills, San Diego contacted Fadox Construction & Restoration after a supply line burst beneath their kitchen sink overnight. By morning, water had saturated the kitchen subfloor, spread into the adjacent dining room hardwood, and begun wicking up the drywall in two rooms. The homeowner had State Farm insurance and was unsure how to proceed with filing a claim.
Our crew arrived within 55 minutes of the call. We extracted standing water, set up 6 commercial air movers and 2 industrial dehumidifiers, and began thermal imaging to map hidden moisture. We coordinated directly with the State Farm adjuster, submitted a full photographic scope, and received claim approval within 72 hours. Demolition of damaged drywall and subfloor began immediately after. Full reconstruction — including new LVP flooring, drywall, paint, and kitchen cabinet base repair — was completed in 11 days.
