Not Sure How Far the Water Has Spread?

Water damage is not always easy to see at first. If you are noticing standing water, damp materials, spreading stains, musty odors, or changes to flooring and drywall, call us and tell us what you’re noticing. Our team can inspect the affected areas and help determine whether water removal, drying, cleanup, or repair work is needed.

Signs Professional Water Damage Restoration May Be Needed

Water Has Reached More Than One Room

Water moving through doorways, shared walls, or connected flooring may indicate a larger affected area than you can see.

Flooring Feels Soft, Raised, or Uneven

Warped boards, loose tiles, or soft spots may mean moisture has reached the flooring system or subfloor underneath.

Drywall or Ceilings Are Stained

Discoloration, bubbling paint, sagging drywall, or peeling finishes can point to moisture inside a wall or ceiling cavity.

A Damp or Musty Odor Remains

An odor that continues after visible water is removed may indicate wet materials or trapped moisture nearby.

Cabinets or Baseboards Are Swelling

Expanded wood, separating trim, or damaged cabinet panels may show that water has been absorbed into porous materials.

What Happens When You Call About Water Damage?

When you contact us, we help you understand what needs attention first. Our team inspects the affected areas, explains the restoration plan, completes the approved work, and checks the property before the project moves into repairs or completion.

Support from your first call

When you call, we ask where the water started, when you discovered it, whether the source has been stopped, and which rooms or materials appear affected.

We Inspect the Property

Our team evaluates the visible damage and checks nearby walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinets, and other areas where moisture may have traveled.

We Build the Restoration Plan

We identify what requires water extraction, drying, cleaning, removal, or repair and explain the recommended work before moving forward.

We Complete the Approved Work

Our team extracts standing water, removes materials that cannot remain, sets up drying equipment, and monitors moisture conditions.

We Review the Restored Areas

After drying is complete, we check the affected materials, explain what was accomplished, and coordinate approved repairs when necessary.

Water damage can leave you unsure about what needs immediate attention, which materials can remain, and whether repairs will be necessary. We provide clear guidance from the initial inspection through drying and approved restoration work.

Sam and Ali were absolutely fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, they were professional, thorough, and incredibly communicative. They came out multiple times to assess the situation and provided a detailed, transparent quote that clearly outlined the scope of work—no hidden fees, no surprises. What really stood out was their honesty and the time they took to explain everything. The level of detail they provided gave us full confidence in their knowledge and capabilities. They were easy to talk to, responsive, and clearly dedicated to helping their clients understand every step of the process. If you're looking for a company that is reliable, transparent, and truly knows their stuff choose A/S general contracting. I 10/10 recommend them.

Charlene Krietzberg

The entire crew at A/S General Contracting were great! They kept me informed every step of the way. They were professional and did a great job on my restroom restoration. Magda helped me through the entire insurance process and I am so appreciative. I definitely recommend their services.

Rebecca Gomez

A/S general contractor was recommended by a friend and so glad I went with them. They were able to come in and remodel our house after a flood and it far exceeded my expectations. They turned a stressful situation to easy and stress free for us. Special shoutout to Sam, for keeping things honest and straight forward. I knew what I was getting from the get go and if I had any issues he was able to correct them within the hour. Sam is detailed oriented and you can he shows that he cares about the customers by his actions.

Chad Whitehouse

Two years after the “shoddy” work they performed we are having to completely replace the flooring. They shot pin nails into laminate flooring but that isn’t the worst part. The patchwork they used to lay a sub floor was crap. They know what they did. They all like to agree and blame the homeowner for whatever goes wrong. One tone even suggesting they because we live in a “trailer house,” the floor would never be perfect. Well now we see clearly what kind of a pieced together project they did, we now have someone who is fixing this fiasco! Don’t use them

Danette O'Quin

AS General Contacting is a great company. They repaired the water damage to my porch in a timely, professional manner. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs any type of repair!

Deborah J. Davis

Any leak damage will take time and patience. Ali, Greg and Abel were great. Good communication! Good follow through! Scheduling was clearly communicated. Every project takes time, but these guys took care of the little details. They also helped me get the most from my coverage. This is my 3rd time working with A/S Contracting. I would recommend them to anyone.

Eric Hughes

Maria Tsagalakis

Professional, patient, first class customer service, on time execution and overall great experience working with this company. Highly recommend!

Olivia Bue

We had a major water leak that required us to file a claim through our insurance company, and our plumber referred us to A/S General. From the very beginning, Greg and Sam were incredibly helpful, guiding us through the entire process and helping expedite everything with our insurance company. Greg, Sam, and their entire team were professional, thorough, and communicative every step of the way. The construction crew consistently showed up on time, worked efficiently, and always left the work area clean at the end of each day. Thanks to their attention to detail and quality craftsmanship, our home is now in even better condition than before the water leak. We highly recommend A/S General to anyone in need of home restoration or construction services. Thank you to the entire team for taking such great care of our home!

Mark Anthony Yraola

I had such a great experience working with Ali and his team. I own two salons and over the years his team has helped and guided me into the many upgrades and changes I've done thru-out the spaces. I like to stay current and hip, whether thats rearranging furniture, window treatments, fresh paint, crown mold,etc ...His team has been there to help me manage my spaces. Hard to find good communication and customer service today, your in good hands with this company

I highly recommend A/S General Contracting and will most definitely be requesting their services again. I had major water damage in my house and the repair and replacement done was outstanding. The pricing was reasonable and the worked with me in every aspect of the job. Sam Abraham was very attentive, helpful, handled everything quickly and professionally. Customer service was astonishing and they worked very quickly to get me my house back to 150%. I am beyond pleased work they did. Well made, durable and worth every penny. The service, product and overall experience was outstanding.

I just want to start of by saying that this company went an above and beyond for us to get the scope writing and administrative negotiations with our insurance.I feel we received the most money so our insurance would take care of the flood we had at our home.

Requested to do the job asap. Told Sam Abraham we have house guests coming in at the middle of the week. He sent a crew to see what needs to be done. By Monday, they started fixing the damage and late afternoon, the same day, the job was done. Sam Abraham didn't promise but he produced the result. Ben L

Had some water damage in my shower and closet due to a burst pipe leak. A/S General Contracting came in and worked with my insurance to get my shower back to peak shape. Appreciate the professionalism and communication from Sam every step of the way. When I had a question he was easily accessible. Will definitely recommend to family and friends. Special thanks to Hugo as well for the good work.

The team has been on time,quick, understanding & professional. I can say a lot of people are not like that now and days. Sam and Travis were amazing at what they do. Need more good people like them. From somebody from the military nothing makes me happier than someone that is on time and staying true to their word. Continue the good work you do gentlemen.

Sam and A/S General were great to work with. Sam was very helpful in walking us through the insurance process for our water damage and was even able to get us more money then our other contractor. Sam was always available no matter how many questions I had. I would definitely recommend this company for any restoration project and Sam is by far one of the best individuals I have had to work with.

Why Water Damage Spreads Differently Across San Diego Properties

San Diego includes coastal homes, hillside residences, older houses, high-rise condominiums, apartments, mixed-use properties, and commercial buildings. Water may travel through shared walls, ceilings, flooring systems, plumbing chases, and utility spaces before the damage becomes visible in another room or unit.

Wind-driven rain may enter through damaged roofing, windows, exterior walls, or unfinished openings. Properties with limited exterior drainage may also experience water collecting near foundations, garages, crawl spaces, and ground-level rooms during heavy rainfall.

We inspect beyond the original water source to locate wet materials and determine the appropriate extraction, drying, removal, and repair plan.

Areas Commonly Affected by Water Damage

Drywall and ceiling cavities
Flooring and subflooring
Shared walls between units
Cabinets and built-in storage
Garages and ground-level rooms
Attics and roof-adjacent materials
Laundry and appliance areas
Bathrooms and plumbing walls

Water Damage Restoration FAQs for San Diego Properties

What should I do immediately after discovering water damage?

If it is safe, stop the water source and move people, pets, and valuable belongings away from the affected area. Avoid entering rooms with sagging ceilings or water near electrical equipment, and call us to inspect how far the moisture has spread.

Can water remain hidden after the surface looks dry?

Yes. Moisture can remain beneath flooring, behind drywall, inside cabinets, and within ceiling cavities. We use moisture-detection equipment to check materials that may still require drying.

Can sewage contamination remain after the water is gone?

Not always. The decision depends on the water source, saturation level, condition of the material, and how long it remained wet. We determine what can be dried and what should be removed.

How long does structural drying usually take?

Drying time depends on the affected materials, moisture levels, airflow, and size of the damaged area. We monitor moisture conditions and remove the equipment after the materials reach appropriate drying goals.

Can you repair the property after the drying is completed?

Yes. When approved repairs are needed, we can replace damaged drywall, flooring, insulation, cabinets, baseboards, and other interior finishes after the affected areas are dry.
