We restore storm damage 24 hours a day in San Diego.

This winter has brought some powerful storms to San Diego County. Heavy rain prompted the National Weather Service (NWS) to issue flood watch warnings for many parts of San Diego County. Our local Otay Mesa/San Ysidro teams are always on hand to mitigate and restore stormwater damage in homes and local businesses. During a flood watch, residents should:

Be prepared: Individuals, communities, and emergency management agencies to review and update their flood preparedness plans. This includes checking emergency supplies, ensuring communication plans are in place, and being ready to take action if necessary.

Stay Informed: People in the watch area are advised to stay informed by listening to weather updates through local news, weather apps, or NOAA Weather Radio.

Action if Necessary: If conditions worsen and the threat of flooding increases, the NWS may upgrade the watch to a "flood warning" or a "flash flood warning," indicating that flooding is imminent or already occurring. In such cases, immediate action to protect life and property is necessary.

A flood watch is a proactive warning from the NWS that conditions are favorable for flooding, serving as an alert to prepare for potential flooding and to stay informed as the situation develops. Residents and authorities need to take flood watches seriously and be ready to take action if the situation escalates.
