24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Highland, CA
The opening is closed, the water is extracted, materials floodwater touched come out, and the structure is dried and rebuilt in that order. The opening is closed first, with tarps or board-up, so the building stops taking on water. Floodwater is extracted, and the porous materials it touched come out rather than dry, since it crossed ground outside. The structure is dried and re-read, and the rebuild waits until the readings and the roof both allow it.

Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading.
Frequently asked questions
What is the concrete channel for?
Taking the flow off the mountain front behind the town straight through to the river without it spreading across the neighborhoods. It is engineered for a large event, and for most of the year it is a dry concrete trench that people walk dogs in.
Does having it make a property safe?
Safer, within its design, which is a real distinction rather than a quibble. The channel handles what it was sized for; a storm beyond that, or a channel partly filled with debris, overtops it, and the properties immediately alongside are the first to know.
What is worth watching in the channel?
What is in the channel rather than what is in the sky. Brush, sediment and dumped material all reduce what it can carry, and a stretch that has not been cleared in years behaves like a smaller channel than the one on the drawings.
