This commercial property in Placerville suffered flooding from a rain event. The water came in the main level, which then flooded the basement below.

Storm damage is very unique, and every situation needs a different strategy. Here in El Dorado County, we see a lot of snow and rain storms accompanied by flash flooding. Cameron Park and Placerville are most commonly affected by moderate flash flooding. Though most people don’t think of it as a “storm”, SERVPRO considers wildfires to be a storm event as well.

Once you have approved the estimate and authorized us to perform the work, our experienced crew will extract all of the standing water. Depending on the recommendations and agreed scope of work, we will either begin removing all of the wet materials, or place drying equipment.
