South Oceanside Residents: We Specialize in Emergency Flood Damage Cleanup and Restoration!

Oceanside flooding due to heavy rains. “Are you Ready?”

Many of us North County (Oceanside) residents are nice and cozy with the thought that our weather is one of the best in the nation.  However, from time to time, and especially during the end of a drought or during El Nino we will get the large rain storms that wreak havoc on our drainage systems. These systems have had minimal use in the past years, and will flood and destroy our beautiful homes and businesses because of the overload of water.  These flash flood storms create two unique challenges for us Southern Cali Folks. 

First and most important is to stop the flow of water, dry out and cleanup the damage.  SERVPRO Fallbrook South Oceanside (760) 451-0600 is on call 24 hours a day, to inspect damage and to begin the Water extraction process.  We use advanced inspection and monitoring equipment to determine you’re your home’s structure is actually dry.

If Water damage is NOT handled quickly and properly, it can cause severe damage to your home’s structure not to mention the potential harmful health effects of mold. Remember, the longer you wait, the worse the problem will get.

Second, does your insurance cover the cleanup and restoration?  Obviously the best action is to contact your insurance company.  But if you have State Farm insurance call 800-782-8332, and if you need to file a claim you’ll need to Find a State Farm location. 

If you do not have Flood insurance take a look at the average prices for flood insurance for Californians.

You can also reference maps available called FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map) that show a community’s base flood elevations, flood zones, and floodplain boundaries.  These maps will determine if you are in a higher flood zone and may pay more for flood insurance.

Here are the most common reasons your home or business may experience water damage.

·         A blocked or failed sewer lateral pipe

·         Heavy rain causes surface Water to pool around your home

·         Storm sewer backup

·         Sanitary sewer backup

·         Foundation drainage failure

·         Water supply-line break or hot-Water tank failure

The flooding in many Oceanside homes is caused by storm sewer backup. Oceanside has had very unusually high rain in the past month, and is expected to get even worse and these conditions can overwhelm the system.
