Flood Repair
By Eve Kelly, Feb. 3, 2010
A torrent of water rushed down our street, pooling around a clogged drain before overflowing into our neighbor’s yard. By the time Patrick cleared the blockage—two plastic “No Parking” signs—the water was just inches from their living room.
My friend Bernice’s bedroom was flooded, with soaked carpets and damp walls. Water created mini ponds in my backyard, some six inches deep. What to do next? We reached out to Michael Fahouris, owner of Certified Restoration, a leading provider of water damage restoration in San Diego.
“We specialize in emergency water removal and structural dry-down,” Fahouris explained. “Emergency water removal can involve anything from standing water in a backyard to flooding in a garage. Just last night, we handled a carport that was filling up. If we hadn’t responded quickly, it could have affected four condos. We use a submersible pump to drain water that’s over a quarter of an inch deep, bringing it down to a manageable level. After removing the bulk of the water, we utilize hard-surface tools like squeegees to vacuum up the rest.”
