On December 31, 2022, San Francisquito Creek overflowed its banks in Palo Alto and filled streets with water. The USGS gage on the creek recorded a preliminary peak of 5,880 cfs, an estimated 25 to 50 year flow, and the creek came up again in the storms that followed in January 2023.
Creek water is contaminated, so it needs more than a mop and fans. We extract the water, remove porous materials it touched, clean and disinfect, and dry to verified targets. If a warning is out for the creek, move valuables up off the floor and call us as soon as water has entered or is about to.
How We Handle Losses in Palo Alto
Neighborhoods such as Crescent Park, Professorville, College Terrace and Barron Park sit in a setting where creek overflow, roof leaks in winter storms, supply-line and water-heater leaks, and kitchen or electrical fires are all possible. The streets around University Avenue also include shops and offices, which we restore the same way as homes.
Mold usually follows water in Palo Alto homes. A slow leak inside a wall, an air conditioning drain line that backs up, or a room that stays damp through a humid season can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove the water used to put the fire out, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Palo Alto usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
