When a fire, flood, or storm damages a property, the restoration clock starts immediately — and almost every job stalls at the same point: the electrical scope. Insurance adjusters want documented assessments. Cities want permits pulled by a licensed C-10 contractor. And nothing else on the schedule moves until the power situation is made safe.

911 Construction & Electric partners with fire and water damage restoration companies across Los Angeles as the licensed electrical contractor on their jobs (CA Lic. #1027421, C-10 licensed, bonded, and insured). Here's how we keep restoration projects moving.

Why Restoration Contractors Need a Licensed Electrical Partner

In California, electrical work on a restoration job legally requires a C-10 licensed contractor — and insurance carriers scrutinize restoration invoices closely. An unlicensed sub or a handyman line-item can hold up a claim payout or fail a city inspection, putting the entire project timeline on your back. A standing electrical partner who knows restoration workflows means clean scopes, clean permits, and clean inspections.

What We Handle on Restoration Jobs

Emergency Make-Safe & Disconnects

First hours matter. We respond as 24/7 emergency electricians to de-energize damaged circuits, isolate hazards, coordinate utility disconnects, and make the site safe for your mitigation crews to start work.

Damage Assessment & Documentation

We inspect and document the electrical damage — what's failed, what's salvageable, what code requires — in a written scope with photos that slots directly into your estimate and holds up with adjusters.

Temporary Power for Job Sites

Drying equipment, dehumidifiers, and tools need power the damaged system can't safely provide. We set up code-compliant temporary power so mitigation starts immediately, not after the rebuild.

Rewiring Fire & Water-Damaged Circuits

Heat-damaged insulation and water-exposed wiring can't just be dried out and re-energized. We repair and rewire damaged circuits to current code — see our whole-house rewiring cost guide for what full rewires involve.

Panel Replacement

Panels exposed to fire, smoke, or water are typically a full replacement, not a cleanup. We handle electrical panel replacement with load calculations and permits, sized for the rebuilt property.

Code Upgrades During Rebuild

Rebuilds trigger current code: AFCI and GFCI protection, smoke and CO detector circuits, grounding, and more. We build these requirements into the scope up front — our GFCI & AFCI guide covers what inspectors look for — so the final inspection passes the first time.

Permits & Final Inspections

We pull the electrical permits under our license, meet the inspector on site, and close out the job — so your project closes on schedule and your file is complete for the carrier.

How We Work With Restoration Teams

  • Fast response — emergency make-safe when the loss happens, not days later.
  • Insurance-ready documentation — written scopes, photos, and itemized estimates that match how adjusters review claims.
  • Direct coordination with your project managers, city inspectors, and utilities.
  • Licensed, bonded, and insured — COI and license documentation provided for your vendor file.
