San Diego Storm Damage? Protect Your Home from Water Damage & Flooding
San Diego’s dry climate isn’t built to handle excessive rain. When major storms hit, flooding, roof leaks, and water intrusion become serious risks for homeowners. Many homes lack proper drainage, waterproofing, and flood prevention measures, leading to expensive water damage restoration costs.
🔹 Did you know? Water damage is the #1 insurance claim in the U.S., costing an average of $4,000–$10,000 per claim. Check our blog about the breakdown costs of restoration projects.
Common Water Damage Issues After Heavy Rains
✅ Leaky Roofs & Ceiling Damage – Heavy rain can seep through cracks, missing shingles, or clogged gutters, leading to ceiling stains and drywall damage.
✅ Flooded Basements & Crawl Spaces – Poor drainage and high groundwater levels can saturate floors and cause foundation cracks.
✅ Wall & Floor Water Intrusion – Water can seep through window seals, foundation cracks, and siding gaps, leading to mold growth & wood rot.
✅ Mold Growth in 24-48 Hours – Excess moisture creates the perfect environment for mold, which can cause serious health issues (source).
5 Emergency Steps to Take If You Experience Water Damage
1️⃣ Stop the Water Source (If Possible)
If water is coming from a burst pipe or backed-up drain, turn off the main water valve immediately. If it’s stormwater, redirect water flow with sandbags.
2️⃣ Avoid Electrical Hazards
If water is near electrical outlets, DO NOT touch the area. Turn off circuit breakers and call an expert.
3️⃣ Document the Damage for Insurance
Take clear photos & videos of all damage. This helps in filing a successful insurance claim (FEMA Water Damage Claims Guide).
4️⃣ Begin Water Extraction & Drying
