Does Your Property Need Professional Storm Cleanup?
Storm damage can remain hidden after rain and wind have passed. Moisture, debris, and damaged materials can continue affecting the property until the area is properly cleaned and dried.
Signs professional cleanup is needed
Standing water remains indoors
Accessible water should be removed so flooring, walls, cabinets, and other materials can be evaluated.
Mud or outdoor debris entered the building
Stormwater can carry soil, leaves, residue, and other contaminants onto indoor surfaces.
Walls or ceilings are damaged
Stains, bubbling paint, softened drywall, and sagging ceiling materials can indicate concealed water.
Flooring is lifting or becoming soft
Water can move beneath carpet, wood, laminate, vinyl, and tile systems before the damage becomes visible.
A damp odor remains after the storm
Persistent odors can indicate wet materials, concealed moisture, or residue inside the property.
How We Clean Up Storm-Damaged Properties
We organize the cleanup around the building’s condition, water source, debris, affected materials, and safety concerns found during the inspection.
We assess the affected areas
We inspect accessible exterior and interior areas to determine where the storm caused damage and how far water traveled.
We stabilize the work area
When authorized, we restrict unsafe areas and coordinate temporary protection for approved exterior openings.
We remove water and debris
We extract accessible standing water and clear mud, debris, and approved materials that cannot remain.
We clean and dry the property
We clean retained surfaces and install air movers and dehumidifiers to reduce moisture inside structural materials.
We prepare for repairs
After cleanup and drying, we document the remaining damage and coordinate approved reconstruction.
One Team From Storm Cleanup Through Repairs
Storm recovery can require debris removal, water extraction, cleaning, structural drying, and reconstruction. We coordinate these connected stages and explain what the property needs next.

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.

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.

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 WhitehouseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
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

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 BueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
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!

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.
Andy R.August 23, 2024Verified
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.
Eric M.June 10, 2024Verified
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.
Angel E.June 1, 2024Verified
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.

Storm Cleanup Challenges Across San Diego
San Diego can experience intense seasonal rain, coastal winds, localized flooding, and runoff from hillsides and canyon areas. The resulting cleanup needs vary by the property’s location, construction, elevation, and drainage conditions.
Coastal buildings can receive wind-driven rain through windows, balconies, doors, and damaged exterior finishes. Hillside properties can experience water and debris moving toward retaining walls, garages, foundations, and lower-level rooms.
Urban areas with extensive paved surfaces can also experience water collecting near entrances and ground-level spaces when drainage cannot move it away quickly.
Areas commonly affected by storms
- Roofs and attic materials
- Windows and exterior walls
- Doors and entryways
- Ceilings and insulation
- Drywall and wall cavities
- Flooring and subflooring
- Garages and storage areas
- Lower-level rooms
- Balconies and exterior finishes
- Commercial interiors
