Flood Cleanup Project – Storm Response & Water Extraction in Vista, CA

After a powerful overnight storm overwhelmed local drainage in Vista, a homeowner woke to find several inches of muddy water throughout their first floor. Tamarack Restoration was called early that morning to assess the damage and begin emergency flood cleanup.

Unlike plumbing-related water losses, floodwater carries debris and potential contaminants, requiring a more intensive cleanup strategy. Our certified team jumped into action with a multi-step plan focused on safety, sanitation, and structural drying.

What We Did:

  • Initial Hazard Assessment: We checked for electrical risks and structural instability before entry.

  • Muck-Out Service: Thick layers of mud and debris were removed manually and with extraction vacuums.

  • Disinfection Protocols: All surfaces were treated with commercial-grade antimicrobial solutions.

  • Material Removal: Contaminated drywall, trim, and flooring were removed to prevent bacteria and mold.

  • Drying & Dehumidification: Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers were set up for continuous drying over several days.

Throughout the process, we documented every step to support the homeowner's flood insurance claim and worked closely with their adjuster to ensure a smooth recovery.

Unique Challenges:
This project involved both water intrusion and landscape runoff, meaning outdoor pollutants made their way inside. Our team had to thoroughly clean areas not typically affected in standard water damage scenarios—including baseplates, HVAC registers, and even the garage door tracks.

If you experience storm or flood damage in Vista, San Marcos, Carlsbad, Oceanside or anywhere in North County San Diego, Tamarack Restoration is here 24/7 to help you recover fast and safely.
