PuroClean of Pasadena 
Water damage restoration is the expert process of extracting water, drying affected areas, and restoring both structure and contents. It addresses issues from flash floods, burst supply lines, roof leaks, and sewer backups—frequent local triggers. We often incorporate mold remediation because uncontrolled moisture breeds mold fast. Our preservation-first approach ensures your older, historic home maintains its integrity while restoring health and safety.
We work directly with your insurance carriers and coordinate with HOA boards, especially critical in South Pasadena/Monrovia hillside zones where permitting and approvals can slow rebuild. Using psychrometric measurements, moisture sensors, hygrometers, and thermal mapping, we capture the full scope, crucial for insurance claims and restoration compliance. We provide details, accurate assessments.
From your heirlooms and furniture to historic woodwork, we treat your property with care, as if it were our own, and return it to safe, clean condition.
We combine refrigerant dehumidifiers, desiccant systems, air movers, and structural drying tools optimized for local building types and climate conditions. Using this state-of-the-art equipment for drying, dehumidifying, deodorizing, and disinfecting, we restore your home or business with minimal disruption so that you can get back to your normal life.
Our team is deeply familiar with Pasadena, San Marino, and local transition zones. We’re well-versed in city building codes, historical overlays, and preservation-style repairs—making us the go-to restoration service provider in Pasadena.

At PuroClean in Los Angeles, CA our IICRC‑certified team offers prompt local service throughout Pasadena, South Pasadena, East Pasadena, San Marino, San Gabriel Valley and surrounding communities. We respond rapidly to minimize risks in Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Revival homes, mid-century residences, and luxury hillside estates.
Pasadena, Hollywood Hills, Los Feliz, West Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel Air and San Gabriel Valley homes, especially those near washes, foothills, and older flood-prone zones like East Pasadena or San Gabriel, can face fast-rising water during summer monsoons or winter storms. Aging stormwater systems and flat-topography streets in South Pasadena often struggle to drain quickly, making floodwater intrusion a common hazard.
Pro Tip: Properties near the Arroyo Seco or Eaton Wash should have flood sensors or water alarms installed.
Historic homes and remodeled multi-story properties in areas like San Marino, East San Gabriel, and Altadena often experience water damage from overflowing bathtubs, sinks, and laundry machines. Gravity-fed leaks can travel down walls and between floors, damaging ceiling joists, insulation, and hardwood floors, especially in older Craftsman or Mediterranean-style homes without waterproof underlayment.
Local Insight: In duplexes and hillside homes, these overflows may affect multiple units or finished basements, requiring multi-room drying protocols.
In foothill communities like Monrovia, Altadena, Los Feliz, Hollywood Hills, Pacific Palisades and San Pasqual, fire and smoke risks are seasonal concerns. When fire suppression systems activate, or first responders flood a home to stop flames, water damage often follows. While fire may cause soot and charring, it’s the deluge of water that saturates flooring, drywall, and cabinetry.
Important: We frequently assist homeowners with both fire restoration and water damage repair in tandem, helping streamline insurance claims.
Many homes in the Pasadena region were built before modern copper or PEX plumbing standards. Galvanized steel or cast iron pipes tend to corrode or burst over time, especially under slab or behind walls. We frequently see slow leaks behind kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, or inside plaster walls in historic properties that go undetected until major mold or floor damage has set in.
Neighborhood Note: Properties in Pasadena’s landmark districts often have strict rules about wall penetrations and may require special handling when restoring behind original tile or wood paneling.
Tile, tar-and-gravel, or flat membrane roofs, common on Pasadena’s Spanish-style and mid-century homes, can deteriorate over time, especially without regular maintenance. Intense storms and Santa Ana wind damage often create small punctures or weak points that allow water intrusion.
Local Challenge: In historical preservation zones like Bungalow Heaven or the San Gabriel Mission District, even roof repairs may require special approval from local commissions or HOA boards.
Older clay sewer lines, tree root intrusion, and grease buildup are major culprits behind slow-draining sinks or sudden sewage backups in neighborhoods like East Pasadena, Los Feliz, Altadena, and San Gabriel. Backups can lead to gray or black water flooding in bathrooms or laundry areas, posing serious health risks and requiring certified biohazard cleanup.
Safety Tip: If you smell sewage or see multiple drains backing up, call professional restoration companies like PuroClean immediately. Water from sewer backups is not safe and needs specialized remediation.
While rare in the broader Pasadena basin, communities at higher elevations, like San Pasqual or upper Altadena, can experience freezing temperatures during deep winter nights. Pipes running through uninsulated garages, crawl spaces, or hillside walls can freeze, crack, and flood homes once they thaw.
Prevention Tip: Install pipe insulation or heat tape in exposed areas to avoid costly pipe bursts.
Water intrusion poses exceptional risk in data centers, server farms, and technology-dense environments, where even small leaks can result in catastrophic equipment failure, data loss, or prolonged downtime. PuroClean’s water damage remediation protocols are designed for high-sensitivity facilities that demand precision, containment, and strict moisture control.
We understand that water damage in these environments often occurs out of sight—beneath raised floors, inside wall cavities, within cooling systems, or along conduit pathways. Our team performs advanced moisture mapping, controlled extraction, and targeted drying to protect servers, networking equipment, power distribution systems, and HVAC infrastructure without introducing additional risk.
This same level of precision is why PuroClean is trusted in luxury residences with private server rooms, integrated smart-home systems, and high-value electronics, where improper drying or over-aggressive intervention can cause irreversible damage.
