Heavy Rain Causes Water Damage to Sherman Heights Home?

We restore storm damage “Like it never even happened” in San Diego.

Our local San Diego City, South West team has helped a lot of families in Sherman Heights with water intrusion issues over the years. During heavy rain, water can enter a home and cause water damage issues. Here are some examples:

Roof Leaks: Damaged or poorly maintained roofs can allow rainwater to penetrate through gaps, missing shingles, or damaged flashing. Water then seeps into the attic and ceilings, causing stains, rot, and potential structural damage.

Clogged Gutters and Downspouts: Blocked gutters and downspouts prevent proper rainwater drainage from the roof. This can lead to overflow, and water may spill down the exterior walls, potentially seeping into the foundation.

Foundation Issues: Heavy rain can saturate the soil around a home's foundation. If the foundation has cracks or poor waterproofing, water can infiltrate through these openings, leading to crawl space moisture issues.

Poorly Sealed Windows and Doors: Older or improperly sealed windows and doors can allow rainwater to infiltrate around their frames. This can result in water pooling on interior sills and floors.

Flooding: In areas with inadequate drainage or heavy rainfall, flooding can occur, causing water to enter homes at ground level through doors, vents, and other openings.

Sewer Backup: Heavy rain can overwhelm the sewer system, leading to sewage backups.
