Here at Vertex Civil we are deeply saddened by the devastating wildfires that have swept through Southern California, particularly in the Los Angeles area. The complete devastation of entire communities, including homes, businesses, and cherished landmarks, is truly heart-wrenching.  Our communities have been uprooted, and the ongoing emotional toll is immeasurable, as families grapple with the loss of their homes and the memories they held.

In these trying times, it is crucial for us to come together to support those affected, and their effort to regain the feeling of home.  Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with all who have been impacted by this tragedy.

Vertex Civil specializes in cleanup, demolition, and disaster recovery services, including fire rubble offhaul and site restoration to begin the process of recovery. We understand the effort to coordinate with insurance agencies, as well as FEMA and government assistance programs.  Vertex Civil can also assist in navigating and complying with local city requirements and regulations. Whether tackling large-scale demolition projects, managing fire debris removal, or coordinating disaster cleanup efforts, Vertex Civil combines a variety of specific equipment with a dedicated team of professionals to deliver prompt, safe, and environmentally responsible solutions in this time of extreme need and urgency.

How can we begin to help move you closer toward recovering your home?  The initial step that should be taken is to contact your property insurance carrier. They will review your policy and outline your coverage in detail. In most cases, you can begin receiving disbursements immediately.

For those that are not insured, or find themselves underinsured, the FEMA Disaster Assistance Program is available, and your situation may allow for assistance. This assistance, when provided, will help to begin the process of recovery. The link below can provide more information.

It will be important to not only clear the damaged structure of the home, but to inspect the building foundation.  When a home is extensively or completely burned, the slab and foundation often crack and may not be suitable for rebuilding. It is highly recommended that we inspect your property prior to the start of work. Doing so can help you get the entire cleanup completed in a single effort, and avoid significant issues down the road, ensuring you can take the next step in rebuilding without concerns in the foundation or other unforeseen problems.  Our team will thoroughly inspect your property and provide a detailed written proposal outlining the necessary work, associated costs, and a clear timeline for completion. This organized approach is not only beneficial to you, but also appreciated by insurance carriers, potentially expediting the claims process.

Vertex Civil brings years of expertise in debris removal, site cleanup, and both single-structure and multi-structure demolition, making us a trusted partner in disaster relief and recovery. We have a vested interest in the needs of Southern California communities, are committed to helping residents and businesses recover from disasters quickly and effectively, and to help Southern California rebuild stronger than ever before.
