Water Damage Restoration in Tierrasanta, San Diego

Tierrasanta is a mesa neighbourhood ringed by canyons and bordered by Mission Trails Regional Park, and that setting drives most of the water damage we see there. Much of the housing stock went up in the 1970s, which puts original supply lines and water heaters well past their design life, and homes on the canyon rim take concentrated runoff during winter storms. Smart Dry Restoration covers 92124 twenty-four hours a day. Call (858) 433-5100.

What causes water damage in Tierrasanta?

• Canyon and hillside runoff during atmospheric river events, typically December to March, concentrated on rim lots.
• Ageing supply lines and water heaters in 1970s-era homes now decades past their service life.
• Slab leaks, where a pinhole under the foundation can run for weeks before anything shows at floor level.
• Irrigation overflow on sloped lots, where a stuck valve sends water toward the foundation instead of away from it.
• Failed appliance lines to washing machines, dishwashers and refrigerators — the most common single cause in any suburban tract.
• Roof and flashing failures on homes still carrying their original or second roof.

About Tierrasanta

Tierrasanta, which means “holy land” or “holy ground” in Spanish, is a neighborhood in San Diego, California. Tierrasanta’s insignia is a ringed Conquistador cross, similar to those found atop Montserrat (mountain) near Barcelona, Spain, however it has lost its religious significance. Locals and welcome signs refer to Tierrasanta as “The Island in the Hills” since there are only four roads that go to the village, all of which end within the neighborhood.

The guidance on this page is consistent with the following public health and federal sources.

• EPA — A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home — Sets the widely used threshold that mold covering more than about 10 square feet should be handled professionally, and advises drying wet materials within 24 to 48 hours to prevent growth.
• CDC / NIOSH — Mold, Testing and Remediation — States that thorough visual inspection and musty odour are more reliable indicators than air sampling, and recommends drying wetted materials within 48 hours or removing them.
• EPA WaterSense — Fix a Leak Week — Reports that the average household wastes more than 9,300 gallons a year to leaks, that 9% of homes have leaks wasting 50 gallons or more per day, and that fixing them can cut a water bill by about 10%.
