Property Damage Restoration & Construction | CRBR | Since 1959

What We Do — Full-Service Restoration and Construction

Water Damage Mitigation and Restoration

Water damage is one of the most common — and most deceptive — property emergencies. A burst pipe, appliance failure, or roof leak can saturate walls and subfloors long before the visible damage appears. Speed of response determines how much of your property can be saved.

Our water damage mitigation, extraction, and cleaning team deploys commercial drying systems, thermal imaging, and professional moisture detection to eliminate hidden moisture completely. Beyond extraction, we restore affected materials and keep you informed throughout every step. Additionally, we help with insurance documentation so the claims process moves without unnecessary delays.

Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration

A fire in your home or business is one of the most disorienting events you’ll ever face. Beyond the visible destruction, smoke infiltrates HVAC systems, soot embeds in porous surfaces, and structural damage can hide behind walls that appear intact. Thorough assessment matters as much as fast response.

Our fire damage restoration process starts with a full safety inspection and structural stabilization. Then, we handle debris removal, soot and smoke remediation, and reconstruction as needed. Furthermore, our smoke damage cleaning and deodorization specialists use thermal fogging and HEPA air scrubbing to restore your property to pre-event condition. We work directly with your insurance carrier from day one — because managing a fire claim while also managing a displaced household is simply too much to carry alone.

Mold Remediation and Removal

Mold doesn’t announce itself. It grows in places you can’t see — behind walls, under flooring, inside ductwork — and spreads quickly when conditions are right. Untreated moisture after a water damage event is the most common cause.

Our mold remediation and removal team identifies the full scope of mold growth, contains it properly, and eliminates it at the source. Equally important, we address the underlying moisture conditions that allowed mold to develop. Without fixing the root cause, mold returns. We make sure it doesn’t.

Wildfire and Large Disaster Recovery

Northern California has experienced some of the most destructive wildfires in the nation’s history — and Butte County, where CRBR was founded, has felt that reality more than most. The Camp Fire, Dixie Fire, North Complex, and 2024 Park Fire are not abstractions for our team. Many of our people lived through them.

Our wildfire and large disaster recovery services scale to meet the scope of each event. From emergency stabilization and board-up to full reconstruction, we manage the entire process. Consequently, you have one team, one point of contact, and one consistent standard of work from start to finish.

Restoration and Construction Services

Structural Damage Repairs

After water, fire, or another event compromises your property’s structure, rebuilding safely requires both technical skill and careful planning. Our structural damage repair team assesses every affected component — framing, sheathing, insulation, drywall — and restores structural integrity before cosmetic work begins. That order of operations matters. Skipping it creates problems that surface months later.

Secure Property and Emergency Board-Up

When a fire, storm, or break-in leaves your property exposed, securing it immediately prevents further damage and unauthorized access. Our emergency board-up and property securing service runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We reach residential and commercial properties throughout Northern California quickly — and we don’t stop at boarding doors and windows. We set up temporary fencing when conditions require it and tarp roof damage to stop weather intrusion while restoration planning begins.

Construction, Remodels, and Home Additions

Restoration and construction go hand in hand at CRBR. Our construction and general contractor division manages rebuilds, remodels, and property upgrades from initial planning through final inspection. We also handle upgrades, remodels, and home additions for homeowners looking to improve their property — not just restore it. One team, one license, one standard of quality throughout.

Contents Cleaning and Recovery

Property damage rarely stops at the walls. Fire, water, and smoke affect furniture, electronics, documents, clothing, and irreplaceable personal items. Our contents cleaning team takes a room-by-room inventory, photographs all affected items, and applies professional restoration techniques to recover far more than most homeowners expect. Items that appear beyond saving — electronics, antiques, soft goods — often come back with the right treatment and equipment.

Specialty Services

Biohazard, Trauma Scene, and Hazmat Cleanup

Some situations require more than standard restoration. Sewage backups, trauma events, and hazardous material exposure all demand certified professionals, proper containment, and careful disposal procedures. Our biohazard and hazardous waste cleanup team and crime and trauma scene cleanup specialists handle these situations with the training, equipment, and discretion they require.

Air Duct and HVAC Cleaning

Smoke, mold, and construction dust all end up in your HVAC system — and from there, they circulate through every room in your home or building. Our air duct and HVAC cleaning service clears contamination from ductwork completely. This step is often overlooked in restoration, but skipping it means the damage remains in the air your family breathes.

Vandalism Cleanup and Repair

Vandalism is more than a property problem — it’s personal. Our vandalism board-up, cleanup, and repair team responds quickly to secure and restore affected properties. We handle glass replacement, surface restoration, and structural repairs with the same standard we bring to every other service.

Encampment Cleanup

Encampment situations require a careful, professional response that balances efficiency with regulatory compliance. Our encampment cleanup team handles waste removal, biohazard containment, and property restoration thoroughly. We serve residential and commercial property owners throughout Northern California and Reno, NV.

Home Modifications for Accessibility

Beyond damage restoration, we help homeowners adapt their properties for accessibility, safety, and mobility needs. Our home modification services include ramp installation, bathroom modifications, doorway widening, and structural adaptations — all completed to code by our licensed construction team.

Commercial Restoration and Property Services

Businesses can’t afford extended downtime after damage. Every hour a facility is offline represents real operational and financial loss. Our commercial cleaning, mitigation, and disinfection services and commercial construction and facility maintenance programs are built around minimizing that disruption.

Why CRBR — 60 Years of Doing It Right

A Regional Team With Real Roots

CRBR began in 1959 when Verne Andreasen purchased a cleaning company in Northern California and built it into something lasting. Since then, the company has grown into a full-service property damage restoration and construction operation — but it has stayed locally owned and locally focused throughout. We’re not a franchise. We’re a team that has served Northern California communities through some of the most difficult events this region has seen.

Our branches in Chico, Yuba City, Sacramento, and Redding, CA, along with our Reno, NV location, mean we have both the reach and the resources to respond fast across a wide service area. Additionally, our team includes professionals who hold IICRC certifications, contractor licenses, and specialized training in everything from mold remediation to biohazard containment.

We Work With Your Insurance Company

Navigating an insurance claim after property damage is stressful. CRBR works directly with most major carriers — including State Farm, Farmers, Allstate, USAA, AAA, and many others — to document damage, prepare estimates, and keep the claims process moving. Furthermore, our team communicates directly with adjusters so you don’t have to serve as the messenger between your restoration team and your insurance company.

Available 24/7 — Every Day of the Year

Damage doesn’t follow business hours. Neither do we. Our emergency line is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. When you call, a real person answers — not an automated system that puts you in a queue. We dispatch quickly and arrive ready to work. That commitment hasn’t changed since 1959, and it won’t change now.

The First 48 Hours Are Critical

The most important window after property damage is the first 48 hours. During that period, water can saturate structural framing, mold can begin growing in as little as 24 to 48 hours in the right conditions, and fire-affected materials continue to corrode from smoke residue. Acting quickly limits damage, reduces restoration costs, and protects your property’s long-term integrity.

That’s why CRBR’s emergency response is available around the clock. When you call, we move fast — because we’ve seen what happens when the response waits until morning.
