Water damage restoration and mitigation in Lake Balboa during a sale
We serve Lake Balboa and the rest of the San Fernando Valley area from Reseda and West Hills. For Lake Balboa homes and rentals we handle leak source tracing, water extraction, structural drying and the paperwork for your insurer.
How we handle water damage in Lake Balboa
If an inspection turns up a leak while a house in Lake Balboa is listed or in escrow, the seller and the realtor need to know what is wet and what is not. Yostin measures the area with meters and writes the findings down, so each side of the sale reads the same record.
What the seller, the agents and the buyer can see
The visit starts at the spot the inspector flagged. We confirm the leak has stopped, or bring in your plumber to stop it, then take readings outward until they return to normal. That gives the damage a mapped edge. Photos show the cause and the wet materials. The written scope lists what can be dried where it is, what has to be removed and the repairs to follow, done by the same company as a licensed general contractor, CSLB #1128773. A seller can pass that scope to the buyer's agent, and the closing readings record the area as dry.

Reviews
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!
