We respond to storm damage emergencies 24/7 in San Diego.

Our local Otay Mesa/San Ysidro team has been restoring storm damage in San Diego County for many years. Monsoonal moisture can travel to our region during the Pacific Hurricane season bringing sudden and intense rainfall, leading to flash flooding and significant water damage in a short period.

Homes in San Ysidro must be prepared for the rapid accumulation of water that these storms can bring. One of the first steps is ensuring your home’s drainage system is fully functional. This means regularly cleaning out gutters, downspouts, and drainage ditches to prevent water from pooling near your foundation.

Waterproofing your crawl space is essential, as these are often the first places to flood. Applying a waterproof sealant to your home’s exterior walls can help prevent water from seeping into your home, especially if you live in an older house with porous materials.

It’s also crucial to check that the ground around your home is graded correctly to ensure water flows away from the foundation rather than towards it. Installing flood vents can be another effective measure, allowing water to pass through and reducing the pressure that can cause structural damage. These preventative measures can help protect your home from the sudden and severe water damage often accompanying monsoonal moisture.
