AfterMeet the Bellflower Team Behind DryMark Restoration Bellflower
We’re the crew that shows up when water’s still running, when smoke’s settled in your vents, or when a mold test came back positive and you’re figuring out what happens next. Every person on this page works out of our Bellflower base, lives in the area, and has been background-checked, licensed, and insured before they ever knock on your door. What ties us together is simple: we don’t start work until you’ve seen a written price, and we don’t leave until the job’s documented to The Haven Standard.
Our People
Alicia Brennan, Owner
I started Back to Dry in 2011 after six years as a claims adjuster, watching homeowners lose thousands because restoration crews didn’t document what they found. A 47% moisture reading behind drywall tends to clarify your renovation priorities faster than any contractor pitch. I built this company around that gap. Every job we take in Bellflower gets a written price before work starts, Haven Standard, Clause 1. No exceptions. I still review the photo records from every crew visit, and I’ll personally look at any competitor’s written estimate if you want a free second opinion. When I’m not on a job site, I’m usually arguing with my terrier about who actually owns the couch.
Marcus T., Lead Water & Fire Technician
Marcus has been drying structures in Los Angeles County for fourteen years, and he’s particular about his psychrometric data, the humidity and temperature readings that tell you whether a wall is actually dry or just surface-dry. He runs our Dri-Eaz and Phoenix dehumidifier fleets on large-loss jobs across Bellflower and the surrounding cities, and he’s the one who makes sure your daily moisture logs are clean enough for your adjuster to pay without a fight. Marcus holds IICRC Water Damage Restoration Technician and Fire & Smoke Restoration Technician certifications. He also makes the best terrible coffee you’ve ever tasted, which the crew drinks anyway because he’s usually right about where the moisture’s hiding.
Elena R., Senior Mold & Biohazard Installer
Elena handles our containment builds and negative-air setups, the sealed plastic chambers and HEPA-scrubbed airflow that keep mold spores or biohazard particles from migrating while we work. She’s certified in IICRC Applied Microbial Remediation and has completed RIA trauma-informed training for biohazard scenes. Elena grew up in Downey, so she knows the older slab foundations and the weird humidity pockets you get in Bellflower during Santa Ana season when the heat hits after rain. Outside work, she restores vintage motorcycles and will talk your ear off about 1970s Honda engines if you let her.
David K., Service Coordinator
David’s the voice you hear when you call (424) 347-8338 at 2 a.m. because a pipe let go in your kitchen. He’s been with us four years and knows every adjuster’s preferred documentation format at the major carriers, which means your claim file often moves faster because he knows what they’re looking for before they ask. David schedules crews, tracks equipment deployment, and makes sure your photo record and written scope are in your inbox before the crew packs up. He’s also a competitive amateur baker, which is how we ended up with a service coordinator who stress-bakes sourdough during hurricane dispatch season and feeds the entire office.
Javier M., Apprentice Technician
Javier joined us last year after working in HVAC installation, and he’s been cross-training on water mitigation, structural drying, and reconstruction cleanup. He’s already certified in IICRC Carpet Cleaning, which matters more than people think, saturated carpet is often the first place we find how far water actually traveled. Javier lives in Lakewood, grew up helping his dad with residential construction, and he’s the one who usually spots the secondary damage others miss: the swollen baseboard, the rusted nail popping through paint, the subtle floor hump that means subfloor moisture. He asks a lot of questions. We encourage it.
One Standard, Every Job
DryMark Restoration Bellflower operates independently under The Haven Standard, the same framework Alicia built in 2011. That means whether Marcus is running a six-unit apartment drying job on Artesia Boulevard or Elena is building containment in a single-family home near Simms Park, the same rules apply. Written price before work starts, Clause 1. Documented photo record on every visit. Daily moisture logs that meet IICRC, RIA, and IFA documentation standards. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise, signed and stamped, not mentioned and forgotten.
We don’t have voicemail trees on our emergency line because water doesn’t wait for business hours. We don’t add scope once the crew’s inside because that’s how homeowners end up paying for surprises they didn’t authorize. And we don’t send unnamed subcontractors to your door, every technician who arrives has been verified, uniformed, and licensed, with their credentials available on request.
If you’ve got a competitor’s written estimate and you’re not sure what you’re looking at, bring it in. We’ll review it for free. That’s Haven Standard policy too.
