The Emergency Half, Done Properly
True Core covers eleven mitigation services across San Diego County, grouped by what actually happens to a building: water gets in, mold grows, fire or storm damages it, and the structure needs securing. Every job runs with IICRC-certified technicians, daily moisture documentation where drying is involved, and an Xactimate scope your carrier can price. We are a mitigation company, so reconstruction is handled by your own general contractor, and we hand them the file to build from. Pick the closest match to what is happening at your property, or call dispatch at 609-833-5424 and we will triage it on the phone.
Water & Flood
Water out, structure dry, on record. Emergency extraction, Category 1 through 3 protocols, and metered structural drying with daily logs.
Everything that starts with water where it should not be. Emergency extraction on burst supply lines, failed water heaters, appliance overflows, and roof intrusion. Flood cleanup under Category 3 protocols when the water came from outside or sat long enough to go foul. Sewage cleanup as a biohazard job with full PPE and proper disposal. And applied structural drying on all of it, with air movers and LGR dehumidifiers placed by calculation and moisture readings logged daily against a documented dry standard, so the equipment leaves when the numbers say dry rather than when the calendar says three days.

Find it, contain it, clear it. Independent testing, negative-air containment, and third-party clearance before we call it done.
Find the water first. Our inspections map moisture and identify the source driving the growth, because remediating without fixing the water just schedules the same job again in six months. Samples go to an independent AIHA-accredited lab and you receive the raw report, not a summary of it. Remediation runs under negative-air containment with HEPA filtration and controlled removal, and a third party performs the post-remediation clearance test. We do not clear our own work, which is what makes a passing result mean something to you, to a buyer, and to an insurer.
Fire & Smoke
Stabilize before the damage compounds. Soot and corrosion control, suppression-water drying, HVAC decontamination, and odor elimination.
Stabilize, then restore. Emergency board-up and roof tarping the same day, photographed before anything gets covered because that record is what your adjuster relies on. Then the two clocks that run after a fire: acidic soot that permanently pits metal and etches glass within 48 hours, and the thousands of gallons the fire department left behind, which is a real Category 2 water loss on its own timeline. We handle soot removal matched to the residue type, corrosion control, HVAC decontamination, hydroxyl and ozone deodorization, and storm-driven water intrusion.
Emergency & Contents
Secure the building, protect what is in it. Storm response, board-up and tarping, and inventoried contents pack-out with climate-controlled storage.
Securing the building and protecting what is inside it. Emergency board-up and roof tarping the same day, photographed before anything gets covered because that record is what your adjuster relies on and cannot obtain later. Storm response: tracing water back to the actual entry point, pulling saturated attic insulation, and drying the structure so the loss stops growing while the roofer gets scheduled. And contents pack-out with barcoded item-level inventory, specialized cleaning by material type, and climate-controlled storage, with non-salvageable items documented for your claim rather than quietly discarded.

Water spreading right now
Burst supply line, failed water heater, overflowing appliance, or a leak running into ceilings and walls. Shut the main off and call.
Go to Water Damage Restoration →Standing water in the house
Water that entered from outside, or enough depth that it needs pumping. Do not run a fan on it before we assess the category.
Go to Flood Cleanup →Sewage backup
Category 3 biohazard. Stop using every water fixture, keep everyone out of the area, shut off the HVAC, and do not attempt to clean it yourself.
Go to Sewage Cleanup →Musty smell or visible growth
Persistent odor, dark staining, or symptoms that improve when you leave the house. Find the moisture source before anyone opens a wall.
Go to Mold Inspection →Fire department just cleared
Do not re-enter until the structure is assessed. Soot is corroding metals from hour one and the suppression water is starting its own clock.
Go to Fire Damage Restoration →Roof opened up, water coming in
Storm, wind, or fallen tree damage. Photograph it before anything gets tarped, then call for same-day securing.
Go to Storm Damage Mitigation →Don't See It Listed? Call Anyway.
If water, fire, smoke, or mold damaged it, odds are we handle it. One call to find out.
