Not Sure How Much of the Property Was Flooded?

Floodwater can travel beyond the visible puddle or waterline. It may move beneath flooring, behind baseboards, through wall cavities, and into nearby rooms. We inspect the visible damage and surrounding materials to determine whether extraction, cleaning, structural drying, material removal, or repairs are needed.

Signs Professional Flood Damage Restoration May Be Needed

Floodwater Entered More Than One Room

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

Flooring Feels Soft, Raised, or Unstable

Warped boards, loose tiles, lifted flooring, or soft areas may mean floodwater has reached the underlayment or subfloor.

Drywall or Insulation Is Wet

Staining, swelling, bubbling paint, peeling finishes, or damp lower walls can indicate that water has absorbed into porous materials.

A Damp or Unpleasant Odor Remains

Persistent odors after visible water is removed may point to wet materials, contamination, or trapped moisture nearby.

Mud or Debris Was Carried Indoors

Stormwater can carry soil, debris, microorganisms, and other contaminants into the property, requiring more than basic water removal.

What Happens When You Call About Flood Damage?

When you contact us, we help you understand what requires immediate attention. Our team inspects the affected areas, evaluates the water conditions, explains the restoration plan, completes the approved work, and reviews the property before repairs begin.

We Learn What Happened

We ask when the flooding started, where the water entered, whether it is still rising, and which rooms or materials appear affected.

We Inspect the Property

Our team examines the visible damage and checks nearby flooring, walls, ceilings, cabinets, crawl spaces, and other areas where water may have traveled.

We Build the Restoration Plan

We determine what requires extraction, controlled removal, cleaning, sanitizing, structural drying, or repairs and explain the recommended work.

We Complete the Approved Work

Our team extracts standing water, removes materials that cannot remain, cleans affected areas, installs drying equipment, and monitors moisture conditions.

We Review the Restored Areas

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

Reliable Support After a Property Flood

Flood damage can leave you uncertain about which areas are safe, what materials can remain, and what repairs will be required. We provide organized guidance from the initial inspection through water removal, cleaning, drying, and approved restoration.

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.

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

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 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.

How Floodwater Can Affect San Diego Properties

San Diego includes coastal neighborhoods, low-lying valleys, canyon communities, hillside properties, urban buildings, and older residential areas. Heavy rainfall can overwhelm exterior drainage, produce runoff from slopes and paved surfaces, and allow water to collect near foundations, garages, crawl spaces, and ground-level rooms.

Coastal storms may also produce wind-driven rain that enters through damaged roofs, windows, doors, and exterior finishes. Once inside, floodwater can spread beneath flooring, absorb into drywall, and reach insulation, cabinets, and structural materials. We inspect beyond the visible waterline to determine the appropriate extraction, cleaning, drying, and repair plan.

Areas Commonly Affected by Flood Damage

Flooring and subflooring
Drywall and lower wall cavities
Insulation and framing
Garages and ground-level rooms
Crawl spaces and foundation areas
Cabinets and built-in storage
Doors, windows, and exterior walls
Basements and below-grade areas

Flood Damage Restoration FAQs for San Diego Properties

What should I do immediately after floodwater enters my property?

Move people and pets away from the flooded area. Do not enter standing water near electrical equipment, outlets, or damaged building materials. If authorities issued an evacuation order, wait until they confirm it is safe to return. Call us to inspect the affected areas and begin the appropriate restoration work.

Is floodwater considered contaminated?

Floodwater may contain soil, microorganisms, chemicals, sewage, or other contaminants, depending on where it originated and what it contacted. We evaluate the water conditions before determining the required cleaning, sanitizing, and material-removal procedures.

Can floodwater remain hidden after the floor looks dry?

Yes. Water can remain beneath flooring, behind drywall, inside cabinets, and within insulation or framing after visible water is removed. Moisture inspection and structural drying help address concealed areas.

How long does flood damage restoration take?

The timeline depends on the amount and type of water, the size of the affected area, the materials involved, and the repairs required. We explain the expected extraction, cleaning, drying, and restoration schedule after inspecting the property.

Can you repair the property after flood cleanup?

Yes. After extraction, cleaning, and drying are complete, we can coordinate approved repairs for drywall, insulation, flooring, cabinets, baseboards, paint, and other damaged materials.
