Our local Buena Park team is a trusted leader in storm damage restoration services. Heavy rain can cause many kinds of property damage to a house or commercial property in La Mirada. The extent of damage depends on several factors, including the intensity and duration of the rainfall, the condition of the structure, and the local drainage systems. Here are some common types of damage heavy rain can cause to a house:

Leaks: Heavy rain can lead to roof leaks if there are existing vulnerabilities such as damaged shingles, flashing, or worn-out seals.

Water Infiltration: Prolonged heavy rain can saturate roofing materials and cause water to seep into the attic or living spaces.

Siding Damage: Rain can cause water damage, warping, or rotting of siding materials.

Paint Damage: Continuous exposure to heavy rain can deteriorate exterior paint and lead to peeling or bubbling.

Gutter and Downspout Issues: Clogged gutters can overflow during heavy rain, causing water to pool around the foundation.

Erosion: Improperly functioning downspouts can lead to soil erosion and contribute to foundation problems.

Crawlspace Humidity: Increased humidity levels in basements or crawlspaces due to heavy rain can promote mold and mildew growth.

Electrical Problems: Water damage from rain can affect electrical systems, posing a risk of electrical fires or malfunctions.

Soil Erosion: Heavy rain can wash away topsoil, damage landscaping, and create uneven terrain.

Tree Damage: Strong winds accompanying heavy rain can uproot or damage trees, posing a threat to the house.

Flooding: In cases of extreme and prolonged heavy rain, the risk of localized flooding in low-lying areas or areas with poor drainage increases, potentially leading to significant damage to the property.
