ExpeDry is your local partner in Long Beach for navigating the complexities of property damage.

Water has a way of getting into places it doesn’t belong, and when it does, the results can be devastating. A small leak can quickly escalate into a major problem, affecting your home’s structure and creating an environment that fosters mold growth. In our coastal climate, various issues can lead to water damage, including heavy rains and plumbing failures. We provide thorough water restoration services designed to address the issue at its source and restore your property to its original condition.
Southern California isn’t immune to powerful storms that can bring heavy rainfall and high winds. This can lead to flooding in your home, roof leaks, and other significant water intrusions. When a storm damages your property, a prompt response is crucial to prevent further damage. Our team is trained to handle the unique challenges of storm-related water damage. We will quickly assess the situation, secure your property to prevent additional water from entering, and begin the process of water removal.
A leak might seem small, but water spreads fast. We start with extraction using pumps and high-capacity vacuums to remove pooled water. After that, our drying process begins. We use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove moisture that is hidden inside carpets, floorboards, and building materials. Drying takes time, but it prevents mold, mildew, and long-term risk.
In unexpected situations that leave you dealing with water damage, ExpeDry offers its hand to guide you through.
Our robust water damage restoration services go beyond simply drying out your property. We carefully inspect every affected area to determine the full extent of the damage. This includes examining the floor, ceiling, and walls for any signs of water intrusion. We then develop a customized plan to restore your home. This may involve repairing or replacing damaged drywall, flooring, and other building materials.
When a disaster strikes, furniture, carpets, and personal belongings can become soaked or damaged. During a content packout, we carefully remove these items and store them in a safe, dry location. This step protects valuable possessions from further damage while restoration continues.
Moisture can stick around long after visible water is gone. We place dehumidifiers throughout the space to draw moisture from the air and building materials. Lowering humidity reduces the chance of mold growth and improves indoor air quality.
Although less common in Southern California, frozen pipes can still burst during cold snaps. When pipes burst, large amounts of water can quickly flood a home or business. Our water restoration services include water extraction, drying, and comprehensive cleanup following a pipe break.
Water damage often creates persistent odors that regular cleaning can’t eliminate, with sewage backups producing particularly challenging odor problems that require specialized treatment. We use various techniques, including ozone generation, thermal fogging, and enzyme treatments, to neutralize odors at their source.
Carpet and upholstery can act like a sponge, absorbing a significant amount of water and any contaminants it may contain. We offer professional carpet and upholstery cleaning services to salvage these items whenever possible.
Basements can flood following heavy rains or when a sump pump malfunctions. Water can ruin furniture, cause damage to HVAC systems, and leave behind deadly mildew. We pump out the water, sterilize the area, and use moisture-detecting devices to ensure that no hidden puddles remain. Following removal, we will discuss waterproofing solutions with you to help prevent future problems.
To prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and other harmful microorganisms after water damage, we apply an antimicrobial treatment. This professional-grade disinfectant is applied to affected surfaces to kill existing bacteria and inhibit future growth.
Mold problems develop when moisture levels remain elevated for extended periods. Long Beach’s coastal climate provides ideal conditions for mold growth, especially during the summer months when humidity rises, and even minor leaks can trigger extensive mold infestations.
Our mold inspection process identifies the full extent of contamination before remediation begins, as mold growth often extends far beyond the visible area. We use air sampling and surface testing to map contamination patterns accurately, and then our mold specialist team removes contaminated materials safely while our mold cleaning services restore salvageable items using EPA-approved fungicides that protect your indoor air quality and prevent future allergy problems.
Fires leave behind a mix of destruction that often includes smoke, soot, and water damage simultaneously, with effects that spread quickly through drywall, ceilings, flooring, and furniture. Smoke tends to settle into carpets and upholstery, bringing strong odors that linger long after the flames are extinguished.
ExpeDry steps in with fire damage restoration services that begin with a thorough inspection to determine the extent of the damage. From there, we remove damaged materials, clean surfaces touched by soot or ash, and eliminate persistent smoke odors using advanced deodorizing tools. Our team also handles structural cleanup and any necessary repairs to help restore the space to a safe and livable condition.
Smoke damage can spread to rooms untouched by fire. Smoke particles cling to walls, ceilings, carpet, and upholstery. Cleaning smoke damage requires more than surface wiping. Our team uses top-notch cleaning agents, deodorizing treatments, and air scrubbing machines to restore indoor air quality and remove the smell.
Major damage situations sometimes require reconstruction work beyond basic cleaning and drying, so we provide complete reconstruction services to return your property to a pre-loss state. Reconstruction planning begins during the initial damage assessment phase, where we identify structural damage, evaluate building material replacement needs, and develop reconstruction timelines. This early planning helps prevent delays and cost overruns during the restoration process while maintaining quality standards that protect your investment.
A hidden water leak can be a silent destroyer, causing extensive damage long before it becomes visible. These leaks can occur in walls, under concrete slabs, or in your ceiling, slowly saturating building materials and creating the perfect environment for mold growth. Our water leak detection services use non-invasive technology to pinpoint the exact location of a leak without causing unnecessary damage to your property.
By finding the source of the leak quickly, we can minimize the extent of the water damage and the cost of repairs. If you’ve noticed an unexplained increase in your water bill or a musty odor in your home, it’s time to call in the experts.
ExpeDry focuses on honest and reliable work, with careful attention to every detail. We stand behind the restoration services we offer. Customers can count on friendly service and transparent communication throughout the entire process.
Dealing with an insurance claim can be a confusing and stressful process, especially when you’re already coping with the aftermath of a disaster. We have extensive experience working with all major insurance companies and can help you navigate the claims process. We will document the damage thoroughly, provide detailed estimates, and communicate directly with your insurance adjuster to help ensure your claim is processed smoothly and you receive the coverage you’re entitled to.
Restoring a building goes beyond repairs. Clean, dry spaces with safe indoor air quality are a priority. We aim to remove moisture, bacteria, fungi, and odors that can affect health. Our methods help reduce the risk of allergy flare-ups, respiratory issues, and long-term contamination.

ExpeDry’s water restoration process starts with water extraction using pumps and vacuums. After removing the standing water, we focus on drying the affected spaces using air movers and dehumidifiers. We inspect for moisture behind drywall, ceilings, and floors to prevent mold growth. Cleaning and odor removal follow, along with necessary repairs to damaged building materials.
Our mold cleanup starts with a detailed mold inspection. We look for moisture sources, hidden mold patches, and affected materials like drywall, carpet, and furniture. Using safe cleaning agents, air scrubbers, and dehumidifiers, we remove visible mold and floating spores. Our mold specialists also apply antimicrobial treatments to help prevent future outbreaks.
Fire damage affects more than what the flames touch. Smoke, soot, and water used to put out the fire can spread through the building. Smoke particles settle deep in carpets, furniture, and walls. Expert fire damage restoration handles cleaning, odor removal, and structural repairs. This careful approach can improve indoor air quality and help prevent lingering hazards.
Yes. Each fire leaves distinct remnants. Protein smoke leaves sticky coatings, whereas dry smoke from fast-burning fires leaves small particles, and wet smoke from simmering flames creates a thick, smeary residue. Our method varies depending on the type of smoke involved.
