Otay Mesa Home Sustains Water Damage from Corroded Plumbing Pipes?

11/7/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in emergency water damage restoration services in San Diego.

Our local Otay Mesa/San Ysidro team responds to water damage emergencies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For many years, Otay Mesa residents have trusted us to restore their water damage quickly and efficiently. One common form of pipe failure in San Diego County is corrosion.

Over time, pipes naturally corrode due to chemical reactions between the pipe material and the surrounding environment. The most common types of corrosion in residential plumbing are galvanic corrosion and pitting corrosion. Galvanic corrosion occurs when dissimilar metals (e.g., copper and steel) come into contact, creating an electrochemical reaction that leads to pipe deterioration. Pitting corrosion involves the development of small, localized holes in the pipe's surface. Corroded pipes can leak or burst, causing water damage and loss of water pressure.

A plumbing professional can identify the age and the type of pipes you have and can make recommendations on replacing older or problematic pipes before they fail and you are faced with more time-consuming and costly repairs.

Tree Roots Lead to Broken Pipe and Water Damage in San Ysidro Home?

10/17/2023 (Permalink)

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

Our local Otay Mesa/San Ysidro team responds to water damage emergencies often throughout the year in San Ysidro, and sometimes tree root intrusion is the cause of pipe failure. In San Diego County, eucalyptus, sycamore, and some oak tree species have root systems that can intrude underground into plumbing systems, infiltrating pipes and causing blockages and pipe failures leading to flooding and water damage.

Any tree with an extensive root system can pose a risk to underground pipes, so if you have trees growing near any plumbing pipes you may want to take preventative measures and install root barriers or seek professional advice for the management of root growth near your pipes. To minimize the risk of flooding from broken pipes, it's important to regularly inspect your plumbing system and address any issues before they become a bigger problem.

We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in San Diego.

Although rain is rare in October in San Diego, there is a 3 percent chance of rain on any given day during this month.

What To Do After Flooding

• Place aluminum foil or wood blocks between furniture legs and wet carpeting

San Ysidro Residents Prepare for Wildfire Risk?

9/26/2023 (Permalink)

We respond to fire damage emergencies 24 hours a day in San Diego.

Have you inspected the defensible space around your home for wildfire risk lately? During the last weeks of September, things get pretty dry in San Diego County. Now that fall is here, it’s a good time to reinspect the defensible space around your property and clear any fallen leaves and debris that can fuel a wildfire.

Our local Otay Mesa/San Ysidro team offers these tips for things we can do to minimize the chances of wildfire damage from the National Fire Protection Association:

• Clear leaves and other debris from gutters, eaves, porches, and decks. This prevents embers from igniting your home.
• Remove dead vegetation and other items from under your deck or porch and within 10 feet of the house. Learn more about the basics of defensible space on the Firewise website.
• Screen or box-in areas below patios and decks with wire mesh to prevent debris and combustible materials from accumulating.
• Remove flammable materials (firewood stacks, propane tanks) within 30 feet of your home’s foundation and outbuildings, including garages and sheds. If it can catch fire, don’t let it touch your house, deck, or porch.
• Wildfires can spread to tree tops. Prune trees so the lowest branches are 6 to 10 feet from the ground.
• Keep your lawn hydrated and maintained. If it is brown, cut it down to reduce fire intensity. Dry grass and shrubs are fuel for wildfire.
