We restore storm and flood damage 24/7 in San Diego.

Our local Mission Valley East team responds to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day. Mission Valley is no stranger to flooding, especially when the San Diego River overflows its banks. Heavy rains and storms can quickly turn the river into a destructive force, inundating the area's streets, homes, and businesses. The region's flat terrain and proximity to the river make it especially vulnerable to water intrusion, leading to property damage and disruptions for residents and businesses alike.

When the river floods, roads like Friars Road often become impassable, stranding motorists and cutting off vital access points. Businesses in the floodplain face the risk of water damage to buildings, inventory, and equipment. At the same time, homeowners grapple with water intrusion that can lead to long-term structural issues if not addressed promptly

Proactive measures are essential to mitigate the impact of flooding. Residents and businesses should keep sandbags on hand, ensure clear storm drains, and consider elevating critical utilities like electrical panels. After a flood, rapid water extraction and drying are key to minimizing damage and preventing mold growth.

As Mission Valley continues to grow, addressing the challenges of San Diego River flooding requires community-wide preparedness and resilience to protect this vibrant area from future storms.
