When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wraps up Phase 2 fire debris removal, many homeowners assume the job is done. Unfortunately, it’s not. The Corps handles the bulk debris removal, but much is left behind—concrete slabs, pool shells, patios, trees, partially cleared structures, and fire-damaged soil. This debris prevents homeowners from moving forward with permits, grading, or reconstruction.

At Suncore Construction, we step in after Phase 2 to finish the job right.

Why Post-Phase 2 Cleanup Matters

Permits for rebuilds won’t be approved if there’s debris still on-site. We’ve seen it all:

  • Fire-damaged concrete slabs

  • Buried spas and pools

  • Scorched retaining walls

  • Tree trunks, stumps, and root balls

  • Contaminated soil and leftover ash

These hazards not only delay reconstruction but may trigger violations during inspections. That’s where Suncore Construction comes in—we remove it all and make your site clean, safe, and build-ready.

Licensed, Insured, and Covered by Insurance

We’re a fully licensed C-21 Demolition Contractor (CSLB #1135040) and specialize in fire debris removal across California, especially Los Angeles, Altadena, and Pacific Palisades. Our team understands FEMA and USACE guidelines and how to get your site through the next step.

Most importantly:

There’s no out-of-pocket cost to you.
We work directly with your homeowners insurance provider to ensure the entire cost of additional debris removal and site prep is covered—without reducing your Coverage A rebuild funds.

Unlike others, we hold the specific license required to legally bill insurance for this work. Others may try, but it can cost you tens of thousands from your policy. We protect your coverage.

Full-Service Site Preparation

In addition to post-fire debris removal, Suncore Construction offers:

  • Free Lead Soil Testing (required in many fire zones)

  • Backfilling and Soil Remediation

  • Permit Assistance and coordination with city/county officials

  • Garage and Pool House Demolition

We’re not just clearing debris—we’re preparing the foundation for your future home.
