About Flood Fixers

Flood Fixers was built around a simple observation: when water, fire, or mold damage hits a home, the hours immediately after matter more than almost anything else. The company was founded in San Diego to fill a gap between the large national franchises — which can feel impersonal and slow — and solo operators who may lack the equipment or credentials to handle a serious loss. The focus has always been residential and commercial restoration, not as a side offering, but as the entire business.

What we do

On any given day, the work looks like this: a call comes in at 2 a.m. from a homeowner who woke up to a burst pipe and an inch of standing water spreading across hardwood floors. A crew mobilizes, drives to the property, extracts the water, sets industrial drying equipment, and documents everything for the insurance claim — all before sunrise. That cycle repeats, for water losses, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, and biohazard situations. The job is as much about clear communication as it is about equipment. Homeowners navigating a claim for the first time need to understand what’s happening in their walls, why drying takes the number of days it does, and what the adjuster will need to see. That coordination — between the technician, the homeowner, and the insurance carrier — is a significant part of every job.

Our certifications and licensure

The restoration industry has real standards, and the credentials behind them carry weight. IICRC certification (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) means technicians are trained to ANSI-accredited standards — the same framework insurers and adjusters use to evaluate whether a job was done correctly. It’s not a marketing badge; it’s the baseline the industry holds itself to. For homes built before 1978, EPA Lead-Safe certification is a federal requirement before any renovation or remediation work that disturbs painted surfaces. Working in an older San Diego neighborhood — Hillcrest, North Park, Golden Hill — without that certification isn’t just a liability issue; it’s illegal. Flood Fixers carries the licensure and insurance required to operate in California, and we work directly with most major carriers so homeowners aren’t left managing paperwork alone.

Where we work

San Diego County is the core of our service area, from the coastal communities — La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Coronado — through the inland valleys of El Cajon, Santee, and Lakeside, and south toward Chula Vista and National City. We also respond to calls in the North County corridor: Escondido, Vista, San Marcos, and Oceanside. San Diego’s climate is mild, but that doesn’t make it immune to water damage. Aging clay-tile roofs, older cast-iron plumbing in mid-century homes, and the occasional atmospheric river that overwhelms flat drains all keep restoration crews busy year-round. If you’re unsure whether your address falls within our range, a quick call to (855) 204-1124 will get you an answer in under a minute.
