After a heavy rain, it's not uncommon to discover a leak in your home or business. If this happens to you, it's important to act quickly to prevent further water damage.

The first step is to turn off the water supply to prevent more water from entering your property. If the leak is coming from a pipe or appliance, turning off the water supply will stop the flow of water. Next, call SERVPRO of Chula Vista at (619) 482-1131.
