Groundwater Damage

SERVPRO of San Diego East had the privilege of servicing a well-known business in San Diego, CA. Their commercial building had groundwater run under their doors and into the floors. Groundwater typically occurs during rain accumulation and is no longer being contained by sewers. Many of their rooms and auditoriums were affected, they had large amounts of water damage. We setup equipment to begin the drying process and began extracting water.
