Our local Chino/Chino Hills team is trained and certified to restore storm damage quickly and efficiently. Heavy rains can quickly overwhelm storm drains in residential areas, leading to extensive and costly property damage. When storm drains become overburdened, water has nowhere to go, often pooling in streets and overflowing into yards, driveways, and homes. This excess water can easily reach crawl spaces or ground-level rooms, leading to significant water damage.

In residential neighborhoods in Chino Hills, overburdened drains can cause flooding by backing up onto streets and seeping into homes through doors, windows, or foundation cracks. Floodwaters may bring contaminants, debris, and other hazards into homes, causing damage to floors, walls, and personal belongings. Additionally, stagnant water left behind after a storm can weaken foundations and promote mold growth.

Homeowners can help reduce the risk of flooding by keeping nearby storm drains clear of debris like leaves, trash, and dirt. Regular maintenance and cleaning of gutters and downspouts also ensure that rainwater is directed away from the home’s foundation. These precautions can mitigate the damage caused by over-burdened storm drains during heavy rainfall.
