Most importantly, we offer a relationship that is family-oriented and personal.

Our goal is to be on site within 60 minutes of first contact, give us a call now at (661) 316-3090.

John McMurtrey and his team at PuroClean Certified Restoration Specialists service a one-hour radius of their home office in Bakersfield, CA. From Tehachapi to Taft and Frazier Park to Visalia we have you covered. 

Our technicians have been working together for years now, and we have been told by numerous people that a mold containment and loss done by us is assured to be of the best quality. Our team has seen enough to know ways of cleaning up losses that can save everyone time, money, and stress. We are IICRC certified in Water Damage Restoration, Applied Structural Drying, Fire and Smoke Restoration, Applied Microbial Remediation, CTS Decontamination, Trauma Scene and Waste Management, Principles and Methods of Carpet, and we hold a General Contractor’s License.

Our team found each other at another restoration company. We decided to open up our own shop and apply our experiences and create an innovative, family-oriented work environment that centers on helping people navigate the crises of any disaster situation. We approach each situation with knowledge and empathy. Our families are entrenched in all facets of our community, and we take pride in the fact that most of our customers call on us because a friend recommended us to them. We know that as large as Bakersfield and Kern County are, they are still the biggest little towns in America.

Our owner, John McMurtrey, was born and raised in Bakersfield. His family is a fixture in the community, and his business reflects that commitment to his community. We have a relationship with the local American Red Cross and are members of the Hail Mary Club, Rotary Club, and GVHS Volleyball. The people in Central California are farmers, oil workers, and good folk, and that’s a nice customer base to have.

Being in central California allows us proximity to all the best California has to offer. Within a few hours, we can be at the beach, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or the mountains. Everything is within our reach. Bakersfield is the heart of California, and our agriculture and oil industries supply the country with invaluable resources. We also claim home to some of the most diverse music and people. We are the birthplace of the Bakersfield sound, and such acts as Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, and Korn.
