Based on 50 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

Rebecca GomezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 Danette O'QuinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 HughesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service fair prices. Sam and Danny were great communicators and got the job done efficiently! Maria TsagalakisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional, patient, first class customer service, on time execution and overall great experience working with this company. Highly recommend! 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! Mark Anthony YraolaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

WHY A/S GENERAL CONTRACTING LEADS IN STRUCTURAL DRYING SERVICES
24/7 Help When Structural Drying Is Needed After Water Damage
After water is removed, moisture can remain trapped inside walls, flooring systems, and structural framing. Delaying Structural Drying can allow damage to spread even when surfaces appear dry. Our team is available 24/7 across San Diego to begin controlled drying quickly, stabilize moisture conditions, and prevent secondary issues from developing inside the structure.
Certified Structural Drying & Moisture Control Procedures
Our technicians perform professional Structural Drying for homes, condos, apartments, and commercial properties. We use calibrated drying equipment, dehumidification systems, and moisture mapping tools to dry framing, subfloors, insulation, and wall cavities thoroughly. Each drying setup is adjusted based on material type, airflow needs, and real-time moisture readings.
Support With Documentation and Insurance Coordination
Structural Drying requires proper documentation to confirm drying progress and completion. We record moisture levels, drying timelines, and affected structural areas, providing clear reports that can be shared with insurance carriers or property managers. Our team helps ensure the drying process is documented accurately so there is no confusion about what was required or completed.
Complete Drying That Supports Full Restoration
Structural Drying is more than running equipment. Our process focuses on drying structural materials to appropriate moisture levels so repairs, rebuilding, or finishing work can move forward safely. By addressing hidden moisture correctly, we help reduce the risk of warped materials, recurring damage, and future remediation needs.

WHEN IS STRUCTURAL DRYING IS REQUIRED IN SAN DIEGO PROPERTIES
Unexpected Plumbing Failures and Hidden Interior Leaks
When pipes fail or hidden leaks go unnoticed, moisture can soak into framing, subfloors, and wall cavities. Our structural drying process targets trapped moisture inside building materials using controlled airflow and dehumidification to prevent long-term damage after the initial water source is addressed.
Rain Intrusion from Damaged Roofs, Skylights, and Upper Floors
Storm-driven rain can migrate through ceilings and wall assemblies, leaving moisture behind insulation and structural components. Structural drying focuses on safely drying these concealed areas so repairs can move forward without lingering dampness or future material failure.
Overflowing Fixtures in Bathrooms, Laundry Rooms, and Utility Spaces
Overflows often saturate flooring systems and lower wall sections even after visible water is removed. We apply structural drying techniques to stabilize affected materials, dry beneath surfaces, and help return interior spaces to safe use more efficiently.
Ground-Level Water Intrusion in Basements, Crawl Spaces, and Slab Areas
Overflows often saturate flooring systems and lower wall sections even after visible water is removed. We apply structural drying techniques to stabilize affected materials, dry beneath surfaces, and help return interior spaces to safe use more efficiently.
Water Intrusion After Storms, Local Flooding, or Outdoor Runoff
Heavy rain and overwhelmed drainage systems can introduce moisture deep into structural materials. Our drying approach focuses on controlled moisture removal within walls, floors, and structural assemblies to limit secondary damage after exterior conditions subside.

HOW INSURANCE WORKS FOR STRUCTURAL DRYING IN SAN DIEGO
Many San Diego homeowners want clear answers about when insurance will cover Structural Drying after water damage. Coverage is typically based on how the water intrusion occurred and whether the damage resulted from a sudden, accidental event. Below is a simple overview of what is commonly included or excluded when Structural Drying is required as part of a claim.
Usually Covered:
Structural Drying required after a sudden pipe burst or plumbing failure
Drying of framing, subfloors, and structural materials following appliance-related water damage
Structural Drying needed after storm-related water intrusion that is covered under the policy
Drying services included when a water damage or mitigation endorsement is active
Usually Not Covered:
Structural Drying related to long-term leaks that were not repaired
Moisture damage caused by ongoing humidity, poor ventilation, or gradual seepage
Flood-related drying without separate flood insurance coverage
Damage tied to neglect, deferred maintenance, or pre-existing deterioration
Coverage varies by insurance carrier, but our A/S General Contracting team documents moisture conditions, drying requirements, and affected structural materials to help support accurate claim reporting and communication with your adjuster.
WHAT MAKES SAN DIEGO PROPERTIES UNIQUE WHEN IT COMES TO STRUCTURAL DRYING
San Diego includes a mix of older coastal homes, mid-century neighborhoods, hillside properties, and newer condos and townhomes. Because each building type retains moisture differently, Structural Drying requires an approach that matches the construction style, materials, and airflow limitations of the property.
Older homes and coastal properties:
Aging plumbing systems can release moisture into framing and subfloors before damage is visible
Older roofs, flashing, and window assemblies allow water intrusion that saturates wall cavities
Crawl spaces, attics, and basements often lack ventilation, slowing proper Structural Drying
Plaster walls, wood framing, and stucco exteriors can trap moisture pockets that require targeted drying
Newer homes, condos, and multi-unit buildings:
Tighter construction can trap moisture, allowing water to spread behind finishes and insulation
Shared plumbing lines let moisture migrate between floors and adjacent units
Flat roofs, balconies, and exterior walkways can introduce water into structural layers
HOAs and property managers often require moisture documentation during Structural Drying in San Diego County
Our A/S General Contracting team understands how these structural differences affect moisture movement and drying timelines, allowing us to adjust equipment placement, airflow, and monitoring to dry structures thoroughly and correctly.
