We restore water damage 24 hours a day in San Diego County.

Each year there are between 10 and 25 Santa Ana winds events. Our local San Diego City, South West team responds to storm damage emergencies in East Village 24 hours a day. The National Weather Service (NWS) offers these tips for preparing for a high-wind event:

• Trim tree branches away from your house and power lines
• Secure loose gutters and shutters
• Identify an interior room of your house, such as an interior bathroom, that you can take shelter in during high wind warnings
• If you live in a mobile home, identify a sturdy building you can go to if the NWS issues a high wind or severe thunderstorm warning
• Charge batteries of all essential items such as cell phones and booster packs, weather radios, and power tools such as a reciprocating saw, which you may need to clear debris
• Update your emergency kit and be sure to include enough food and water to last for three days for each person in your home
• Make a list of items outside your home you will need to tie down or put away so that they don’t blow over or fly away through a window. When NWS issues a high wind or severe thunderstorm watch, immediately secure these items to avoid damage or injury once the wind starts picking up.
