We respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in San Diego.

Our local Centre City/Uptown team is a trusted leader in storm damage cleanup and restoration services in Banker’s Hill. Inadequate drainage or clogged storm drains can significantly contribute to storm damage in several ways:

Flooding: One of the most immediate and noticeable effects of inadequate drainage or clogged storm drains is flooding. When heavy rainfall occurs, the excess water cannot flow properly into storm drains or drainage systems, leading to water pooling on streets, parking lots, and low-lying areas.

Water Damage: Flooding resulting from inadequate drainage can lead to water damage inside buildings and homes. Water entering structures through doors, windows, or basements can ruin flooring, walls, furniture, and electrical systems. The longer water remains inside a structure, the more extensive the damage can become.

Soil Saturation: The soil can become saturated with water in areas with poor drainage. Saturated soil can lose its ability to support structures like buildings and roads, potentially leading to foundation damage, sinkholes, or even structural failure.

Mold and Mildew: Excess moisture from flooding due to drainage issues can create ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth inside buildings.
