Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Pomona, CA
Basement seepage, failed sumps and water through the slab are extracted and dried, and the path from the ground is found so the floor stays dry next season. The path from the ground is named first: through the wall, up through the slab, back through a drain, or from a sump that stopped. The space is extracted and dried, with the porous materials the water touched removed, and the delivery is addressed, because a dried floor only stays dry if the water stops arriving.

Often needed alongside
- 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.
- 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.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
How does water get in at a heater like this?
Down the flue, usually, at the point it passes through the roof. The unit sits in an opening cut through a partition wall with a metal flue rising from it, and that flue is a penetration like any other. When its flashing goes, water runs down inside the pipe to the unit.
Why is it not noticed sooner?
Because these are off for most of the year here. With a short heating season the unit sits unused from spring to late autumn, so nothing about its performance changes and nobody looks at it. The water has usually been coming down the flue for a season before anyone knows.
What gets opened around the heater itself?
The wall around the unit, because the opening it sits in interrupts the framing and the water has been running into that. The unit comes out, the studs and plates either side are read directly, and the flue is dealt with above before anything goes back.
