What storm water ruins in Fontana, CA, and what dries

What gets saved is decided in the first day or two, by material rather than by how bad it looks. Below is EPA's published guidance for storm damage.

EPA's published guidance for the materials involved, by material.
MaterialWhat EPA says to do
Ceiling tilestiles below a breachDiscard and replace. EPA, Table 1The one material on this list with no decision to make.
Wallboard (drywall)ceilings and wall headsMay be dried in place if there is no obvious swelling and the seams are intact. If not, remove, discard, and replace. Ventilate the wall cavity, if possible. EPA, Table 1That is a test anyone can run before a quote is written: look for swelling, and look at whether the seams have opened.

Wood surfacessheathing, framing and trimRemove moisture immediately and use dehumidifiers, gentle heat, and fans for drying. (Use caution when applying heat to hardwood floors.) Treated or finished wood surfaces may be cleaned with mild detergent and clean water and allowed to dry. Wet paneling should be pried away from wall for drying.

Year-Round Storm Damage Restoration in Fontana

Scott Water Damage Restoration connects property owners with local providers who quickly address water intrusion, prevent mold growth, and restore affected areas before damage spreads.

As fall approaches and weather patterns shift, gutters, downspouts, and drainage systems require attention to prevent water pooling around foundations during coming storms. Scott Water Damage Restoration helps property owners connect with local specialists who assess vulnerabilities and mobilize quickly when heavy rainfall occurs.

Winter: Heavy Rain and Flooding
