Trained to Handle Any San Diego Water Removal Needs
Mitigating water and flood damage requires trained specialists who understand the full chain of consequences.
All of our technicians are certified by the IICRC and the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA). From slab leak detection to large-loss drying, we bring the right tools and expertise.
We also have decades of experience working directly with insurance companies. Our blog on top 5 mistakes homeowners make after water damage explains how to avoid common pitfalls that can delay claims or reduce coverage.
Call for Immediate Water Damage Repair and Cleanup
The first 24–48 hours after water damage are critical. Without fast action, hidden moisture can escalate into mold, wood rot, and expensive reconstruction.
For emergency situations, see our step-by-step guide on immediate water damage emergency response protocol.
Sewage Damage Cleanup and Removal
Sewage damage is more than an inconvenience—it’s a biohazard.
Gray or black water in your San Diego property can trigger viral growth, parasites, bacteria, and mold if not handled quickly. Our sewage cleanup services follow strict IICRC and OSHA standards, ensuring containment, disinfection, and safe restoration.
Learn more about safety rules in our blog on sewage contamination cleanup regulations.

Frequently Asked Question About Water Damage Restoration
What is the first step in water damage restoration?
We perform an on-site assessment, stop the source, and begin extraction. Learn why timing is so important in what happens if water damage is left untreated.
How soon should I call after water damage occurs?
Immediately. The first 24–48 hours are critical. Read our blog on detecting concealed water damage in established neighborhoods for hidden risks.
Do I have to pay up front for water damage restoration?
No. We bill your insurance carrier directly with Xactimate pricing, minimizing out-of-pocket costs. See our resource on understanding different types of water damage for insurance purposes.
How long does the water damage restoration process take?
Mitigation usually takes 3–7 days, while repairs can take 2–6 weeks depending on materials and insurance approval. Our blog on when to rebuild after property damage explains what determines the timeline.
Can you work directly with my insurance company?
Will water damage restoration also take care of mold?
We handle mitigation immediately, but if spores have spread, a separate mold remediation plan may be required.
