Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies in the Stockton Area

What Makes Stockton Different

Stockton sits at the edge of the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta, where rivers, sloughs and levees surround low farmland and neighborhoods. Some areas sit behind levees and can flood if a river runs high during heavy winter storms. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated. A standard homeowners policy does not cover flood, so check your risk and consider a separate flood policy.

Summers are long, hot and dry, and most water damage starts inside the home with a broken supply line, a failing water heater or a slab leak. Winter brings the rain, along with thick tule fog and cool damp days that slow drying. Keep gutters clear and make sure water drains away from the foundation.

Wildfires in the Sierra foothills and around the region can send heavy smoke into the valley in late summer and fall. Close windows, run a HEPA air cleaner and replace HVAC filters after a smoke event. Many older homes were built before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before you remove old materials.
