Flash floods can threaten Santa Clarita properties fast and be challenging to clean up.
While there are many months of mostly drier conditions for what is one of the larger cities in the world, millions of residents have also seen the ugly side of nature when rising water or flash flooding sweep into neighborhoods. As a leading flood restoration and storm response unit, our SERVPRO professionals can help get life back to normal after a disaster.
Removing Water After Flooding
Extraction tools are often much needed for flood damage to Santa Clarita properties. Some of these water removal devices can be dually impactful, eliminating the surface water and debris or muck encountered. These are called trash pumps. Wet vacuums are among the most versatile flood restoration tools in our inventory.
Muck-Out Cleaning in Santa Clarita Homes
Entering a home after natural flooding can be overwhelming for property owners, as they see portions of the house suffering several inches of debris and mud.

Many of the threats after a flood includes:
- Silt
