Third Quarter Rain

10/7/2020 (Permalink)

With fall just around the corner, southern California will no doubt be experiencing our annual three days of rain again soon.

All joking aside, we have one of the more bizarre and inconsistent climates in the United States. October is typically the turning point from Sonoran Desert levels of heat to a milder, only-sometimes-causes-a-sunburn heat to torrential downpour. Even then, there are caveats and nuances to this wonderful coastal oasis we call home.

SERVPRO of Chino/Chino Hills most often deals with water loss events. Although always true, there are different underlying causes. For example, the end of spring into the first part of autumn typically brings a lot of appliance-centric types of losses. This includes things like kitchen sink floods, plumbing issues that back up toilets, washers that feel the need to wash the entire bottom floor of your home, etc. The rest of the year (right around now) consists of more and more issues involving rain or stormy weather in general. Rain can cause problems with flooding but it can also get into cracks and crevasses in homes, introducing moisture into areas it shouldn’t be and resulting in mold.

Whether your Chino Hills home experiences damage from rain causing mold, hail breaking a window and allowing rain to come into your home, or wind destroying your roof, SERVPRO of Chino/Chino Hills is here to help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
