Debris Causes Storm Drain to Flood

When there are heavy rains it’s important to keep storm drains clear of leaves and garbage. The drain on this street malfunctioned when garbage and other debris had clogged it, not allowing it to drain properly. The excess water had flooded the commercial building in the picture and SERVPRO of Laguna Beach / Dana Point was asked to start the remediation process.

The Flood Cleanup Process

We arrived and immediately started the removal of the black water in the building. There was a lot of materials that had soaked up the water and needed to be removed. A flood cut was used to keep the damage to only the bottom part of the walls.
