Coming back to a house that has been empty for a while and finding water on the floor is a hard way to arrive. A leak with nobody home can spread further before anyone sees it. In Malibu, Yostin dries the wet areas, puts the rooms back together, and keeps you posted if you have to leave again.
When you cannot be at the house
If you found the damage on a short visit and have to go back to work or travel, the job can still move. Updates and photos come to you at each step: the wet areas mapped, the material removed, the readings once the structure is dry. The rebuild then puts back drywall, insulation, flooring and cabinets as scoped, with trim and paint last. Access and keys are arranged with you, and the written scope lets you follow the repair from wherever you are.

What customers say
I had a wonderful experience with Omri and the entire Yostin Restoration team. I had a pipe leak that caused water, mold, and termite damage to one of my walls, which was understandably very stressful at first. From the beginning, Omri was there every step of the way and he truly felt like a partner throughout the process. It was clear that he genuinely cared about getting my home and my life back to normal, which is invaluable in a situation like this. My wife and I are so grateful!On top of that, he's essentially a one-stop shop that can also help with the rebuilding process after mitigation, which made everything much easier to manage. His team did an excellent job, and the quality of the work really shows. He was also very fair and affordable, offering great value for the level of service provided. If you need restoration help, I highly recommend reaching out to Yostin ASAP! You'll be in great hands!
Julian A. · Mar 2026 View on YelpSo we had water coming into our house and we had no clue where it was coming from. Turns out this had actually been an issue before -- we'd hired another company to deal with it and they clearly never fixed the actual problem. Just collected their check and moved on. Omri came in, actually took the time to figure out what was going on, and found that the ground on the outside of the house was too high, basically pushing water in. This had probably been happening for years. He lowered the ground, fixed the drain pipes, and addressed a whole chain of things connected to it. And now -- no more water. Actually fixed. What I didn't expect was how big this project would become. There was a lot of demolition, renovation, coordinating different people -- the whole thing. But here's what made it manageable: Omri handled everything. Like, everything. I didn't have to chase down subcontractors or manage timelines. He was here constantly, checking on things, making sure it was all done right. It honestly felt like we were his only client. He saved us real money too. We were able to keep our exterior fireplace instead of ripping the whole thing out, which I guarantee another company would've pushed us to replace. And throughout the project, stuff kept getting discovered -- little things here and there that needed fixing or removing -- and Omri just took care of it. Didn't nickel and dime us. Just "don't worry about it, I'll take care of it." You don't see that. Look, I know restoration is one of those industries where it's easy to get taken advantage of. You sign a contract, you're kind of locked in, and some companies do the bare minimum because they know you're stuck. Omri is the opposite of that. Super organized, super professional, genuinely cares that you're happy with the result. Not in a salesy way -- in a "this is how I do things" way. Best contractor we've ever worked with. Not even close. Cannot recommend him enough.
D K. · Mar 2026 View on YelpOmri and his team were highly professional, very communicative, and thorough with their work. We had a problem with water damage causing mold growth that required coordinating with a plumber and demolishing and replacing drywall. Everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I was always kept up to date with developments and timelines and Omri was always checking in. They did a beautiful job, and there is no trace of the damage. Wonderful experience!
Brooke S. · Oct 2025 View on YelpWe had a major interior flood from a broken bathroom pipe and called for water mitigation help. Yostin's company was the only one that responded and came that morning. Owner, Omri Yostin was there with his team and tested for what areas showed wetness, had his team pull up the Pergo floor boards, and set up drying fans throughout. He was very reassuring and helpful - explaining his services and how my insurance could cover repairs. He arranged for a moving company when we had to move out for extensive repair work as well as testing for mold and asbestos issues. Throughout this process, Omri coordinated with my insurance company's representative and advocated for full recovery so that we ended up with new flooring throughout the home as well as new interior painting, so that it now looks like a new home. We were able to install vinyl flooring that will be more durable with our dogs (and looks even better that the old Pergo). The month long restoration was completed staying within my insurance coverage budget. I highly recommend Yostin water Damage & Restoration for quality work and support during a stressful flooding experience!
Linda N. · Jul 2025 View on YelpI am beyond grateful for the incredible service provided by Yostin Water Damage & Restoration. After significant water damage and mold in our home from a plumbers negligence, we were overwhelmed, stressed, and unsure of where to start. From the moment Yostin's team arrived, they took control of the situation with professionalism, compassion, and a sense of urgency that immediately let us know how experienced and incredible this company was....FROM DAY ONE! Omri, the owner, took a SIGNIFICANT amount of time answering every question, walking us through every detail and treated us like we were family AT EVERY TURN THIS PROJECT TOOK. They thoroughly assessed the damage, explained the entire restoration process, and maintained excellent communication throughout the project. What truly stood out was their commitment to going above and beyond in literally every single aspect. They worked late hours, addressed every concern we had, and treating our home as if it were their own. One of the most challenging parts of this process was dealing with our insurance company... it was my worst nightmare. But Omri never relented. He fought for us every step of the way, making sure we were taken care of and that nothing slipped through the cracks. His advocacy and persistence made all the difference and he even talked me off the ledge a time or two and reminded me what we were entitled to. Yostin Water Damage and Restoration is everything you could hope for in a restoration company...honest, responsive, thorough, and genuinely compassionate. I highly recommend them to anyone facing water damage, mold issues or if you need a quality contractor for restoration/ remodeling! You'll be in the best hands possible. I can truly say I have never been treated so well by a service company in my life. When your life is turned upside down, you neee a company like this in your corner. I don't know how to say thank you enough to this incredible company for all they've done for us.
Jeana H. · Jul 2025 View on YelpOmri was wonderful to work with! After receiving numerous quotes and assessments for a mold situation we discovered in our home, we found Yostin Water Damage & Restoration and decided to get one final assessment. We're so glad we did. From the beginning, Omri was incredibly genuine, honest, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced compared with the other companies we had spoken to. You can tell he truly cares about helping his customers and doing what is actually necessary, rather than taking advantage of a stressful situation. As new parents, our baby's health and safety are our number one priority, and we felt that some of the other companies we met with were preying on that fear and sense of urgency. Omri was the complete opposite. He made us feel informed, comfortable, and confident throughout the entire process. Thank you so much, Omri, for all of your help and for taking care of our mold issue with such care, honesty, and efficiency. We're so grateful and would absolutely recommend him and his company!
