Addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by older adults enhances their resilience and reduces the negative impacts of emergencies on their lives.

Eucalyptus Tree Branches Fall and Damage Homes in San Diego During Windy Conditions?

8/29/2023 (Permalink)

We restore wind damage 24 hours a day in San Diego County!

I remember being blown around by the gusty winds one summer and hearing the crack and fall of Eucalyptus tree branches all around the properties below mine. One branch crashed into the side of a home and broke a window. Thank goodness no one was hurt.

Our local Centre City/Uptown team has been restoring wind and storm damage in San Diego for many years. Along with the Santa Ana Winds, coastal and frontal winds also affect our region and can cause property damage.

Eucalyptus trees are notorious for dropping branches, especially during high wind events and drought conditions. Regular pruning of dead and weak branches can help prevent potential hazards.

If possible, maintain a safe distance between the Eucalyptus tree and the house. This will help reduce the chance of falling branches causing damage. If the tree is too close, consult with an arborist about potential solutions.

Be extra cautious during severe weather events, like strong winds. Be sure to secure loose objects or moving vehicles away from the tree.

North Park Home Damaged by Smoke from Neighborhood Fire?

8/22/2023 (Permalink)

We restore fire damage 24 hours a day in San Diego!

Our local Centre City/Uptown team has been restoring fire damage in Uptown, San Diego, for many years. Smoke permeates every surface it is exposed to. We pre-test every surface to determine the most effective method for neutralizing and removing smoke odor.

Smoke Odor Removal Equipment

Air Scrubber or Filter: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system air scrubber or HEPA air purifier captures larger smoke molecules. There will still be some residual odor from smaller molecules or surface residues.

Ozone Generator: An ozone generator is a fast and highly effective smoke odor restoration method. These machines emit ozone, which follows the same paths through the air as smoke and oxidizes any residual traces in the air or on surfaces.

Thermal Fogging: An intensive treatment involving fogging machines. After residents evacuate, smoke cleaning professionals fill a structure with petroleum distillates that neutralize odors, and then they ventilate the area.

Hydroxyl Generator: These machines rely on ultraviolet light to generate hydroxyl radicals that eliminate smoke odors. It will take about three to five days of continuous operation to achieve the same results as a single ozone treatment.

Vapor Modification: This odor elimination method relies on aromatic compounds and a blower or fan to neutralize smoke odor.

Is your home in South Park ready for wildfire season? Our local Centre City/Uptown team responds to fire damage emergencies every year. To date, there have been 1,943  wildfires of 10+ acres that have burned 6,709 acres of land in California. CALFIRE’s 2023 outlook for wildfire states that tropical disturbances typically associated with an El Nino pattern could lead to increased lightning and thunderstorm activity.

The County of San Diego has amended an ordinance that requires residents to keep their property free from fire hazards. Here is some information from their website for creating and maintaining defensible space:

WHAT IS DEFENSIBLE SPACE?

Defensible Space is the area around a structure where combustible vegetation that can spread fire has been cleared, reduced, or replaced. This space acts as a barrier between a structure and an advancing fire.

HOW LARGE SHOULD THE DEFENSIBLE SPACE BE?

You need to clear combustible vegetation in a 100-foot radius from any structure.  Your local fire agency may require you to clear additional vegetation by a written letter. You  are not required to cross your property line in order to clear 100 feet.  The neighboring property owner may be required to clear the additional distance by the fire agency.
