Casey McCants
Facing a slab leak or plumbing disaster? Let South County Restoration in San Clemente come to your rescue. From the second you see water damage, call owner Casey McCants, before you contact your insurance provider. Casey’s team is your one-stop resource to close the leak, repipe your home, repair the drywall and paint. Many mitigation companies offer services to address only one component in the process, but South County Restoration offers a comprehensive solution, from the moment you notice a leak to the last restoration detail.
Since 2008, this dedicated team of professionals has been providing emergency water remediation and restoration throughout South Orange County. In addition to being a general contractor, Casey is also a trained homeowner advocate, so he is well-equipped to address insurance claim issues on your behalf. Casey has the knowledge and experience to answer insurance provider questions, file the claim, and recover the compensation you deserve. In some cases, insurance may even pay for a portion of your repipe.
“Insurance companies want you to use their approved vendors and do the least amount of work to restore your home,” says Casey. That’s where South Country Restoration stands out. His team conducts a thorough investigation of the damage and suggests a long-term solution.
Casey and his dedicated staff will initiate your claim, schedule the repipe, and work with your insurance company to get the best possible settlement. The team will arrive at your home at 8 a.m. on the day of repiping, cover everything in plastic, execute the repairs, and provide you with running water that very night.
South County Restoration utilizes cross-linked polyethylene, better known as PEX, to bypass or replace existing pipes. PEX tubing is flexible and can be directly routed to where it needs to go. The product’s flexibility reduces the need to make joints and turns, while improving water pressure. A PEX repipe prevents future leaks and is designed to last a lifetime.
After the repipe is completed, a second team arrives to repair the drywall, typically two days later. They also perform mitigation services, thoroughly clean and abate the area, conduct mold and asbestos testing. Only South County Restoration can repipe your home and repair the walls in as little as three days.
South County Restoration has and always will be a customer-centric, community-based company. Helping neighbors recover from water damage, so they receive prompt compensation from their insurer, is what Casey’s team does best.
With a 24/7 Rapid Response Team standing by, and a 49-minute arrival time, call on South County Restoration when trouble arises. Check out SouthCountyRestoration.com and remember to call Casey, before you call your insurance company.

Following a brief stint in Arizona, John, his wife Sally and their 5 children planted roots in beautiful San Clemente in 1976. After John’s passing in 2020, his son Dean Rohan, son-in-law Tom Medina, daughter Kelly Rohan Medina and grandson Breyden Rohan have continued the family business and have kept John’s legacy alive.

Wall-mounted mini-split units help customers save time and money with easy installations and increased energy efficiency.
Yelp reviews continue to rave about Rohan and Sons.
“We love Dean and his crew. We just had a whole new HVAC system replaced by Rohan and Sons and it works great. Everything about the experience has been easy. From the free quote to the installation, it was all a breeze. We got several quotes from other companies and Rohan’s price was good as well as the service. I had a follow up question, and they were easy to get a hold of and answered my question promptly. I highly recommend!” — L.M., San Clemente
CEO Dean Rohan commented, “We’re a family business and we would like you to be a part of it.”

ZeroRez carpet cleaning offers an innovative new way to keep your carpets clean without harsh chemical contamination or an oversaturation of water that encourages the growth of mildew and mold. The company stands by its claim that there is no better carpet cleaning service available. If you’re looking for the safest, most effective, and longest lasting carpet cleaning, you’ve come to the right place.
THE ZEROREZ DIFFERENCE™
- Stays cleaner longer
- Dries faster
- Green and family-friendly cleaning solutions
- Highly-Reviewed — Over 1,200 5-Star Ratings on Google
- No soap or harsh chemicals
- Professional cleaning staff
SO GREEN, IT’S SAFE ENOUGH TO DRINK
One of the most important innovations to be incorporated into the unique carpet cleaning process is the use of powered water. ZeroRez uses special alkaline, electrolyzed, oxidized water. While this water has been transformed to provide a better cleaning experience, it is, in fact, still water. There’s no chemical additives, which is why ZeroRez can claim that its cleaner is “so green, it’s safe enough to drink!”
Many carpet cleaning services rely on soaps and detergents that leave sticky residue behind or create crunchy carpets. Quick resoiling is often the result and the ZeroRez cleaning system solves these problems. Best of all, ZeroRez’s cleaning solution has been scientifically proven to remove more dirt from carpets than traditional chemical or steam cleaning methods. With no residue left behind to attract more dirt, your carpet will stay cleaner longer.
The ZeroRez cleaning system works on more than just carpet. It is also particularly well-suited to clean and sanitize upholstery, area rugs, tile and grout as well as natural stone floors.
If you’re looking for carpet cleaning from a local expert, contact Eric and his team at ZeroRez for a free, no-obligation quote. As Eric says, “You’ll love the difference that ZeroRez makes—we guarantee it!”

Priscilla Parris
Now located in San Clemente’s Historic City Hall
Owner of The Kitchen Lady, Priscilla Parris, has been a well-known designer in Los Angeles and Orange County for over 36 years. With a BS Degree in Interior Design from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, she first worked for the L.A. company that invented 3D software for the kitchen and bath industry. Through that experience, she became an expert in the design process. In 1994, after working for three contractors, Priscilla opened her first showroom in Huntington Beach. In recent years, she became design partners with Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home and Azzari Design.
Featured in many local publications and in HOUZZ, she now has decided to put her small sample showroom in beautiful downtown San Clemente, inside Historic City Hall. “Large and cumbersome showrooms are a thing of the past,” says Priscilla, who has owned many. “In order to stay current, it is better to keep overhead low and be at the jobsite where expert supervision is required during installation,” she shares.
Over the last 25 years, Priscilla has assembled a team of expert installers to assist her in the production of her kitchen products, and those same people have been with her ever since — a testament to her work ethic, integrity and ability to collaborate. Whether you’re updating your existing space with a few key elements or embarking on a complete renovation, it’s important to enlist the assistance of a hands-on professional who will guide you through every small step in the process.
Priscilla’s showroom offers cabinet, countertop, tile, hardware, and mosaic samples, along with the capability to 3D design your concept. This technology allows a client to visualize a kitchen or bath design.
Priscilla has designed over 3,000 kitchens during the last 36 years, so her expertise in space planning and kitchen and bath design is extensive and highly-regarded. Designing complex spaces requires vast knowledge and experience, and The Kitchen Lady makes it enjoyable and seamless for her clients.
Having a keen eye, attention to detail, and a good set of math skills, are the necessary ingredients to a successful kitchen or bath design project. If you’re seeking an experienced and reliable professional to make your dream a reality, please contact Priscilla for a consultation.
