Flood Clean Up

South Bay San Diego isn't immune to flooding—heavy rains, storm surges, and flash floods can overwhelm homes and businesses in minutes. Our large-scale water removal team is equipped to handle severe flooding events.

Floodwater is classified as Category 3 (Black Water) because it picks up fertilizers, animal waste, sewage, and chemicals as it flows over the ground. This makes flood cleanup significantly more dangerous than a standard pipe burst. Proper PPE and specialized biocides are mandatory.

Rescue Solutions Services utilizes truck-mounted extraction units capable of removing thousands of gallons of water quickly. After the standing water is removed, we safely tear out contaminated porous materials like drywall, insulation, and carpeting, which cannot be salvaged after Category 3 exposure.

We then thoroughly pressure wash, sanitize, and dry the structural framing. We work closely with FEMA guidelines and your flood insurance provider to ensure the mitigation process is fully documented and compliant.
