Water Damage Happens Fast
When Water Hits Your San Diego Property, Every Hour Matters
A burst pipe, an overflowing appliance, or a roof leak can turn into a serious problem within hours. Water spreads quickly into flooring, drywall, cabinetry, and framing, and standing water creates conditions for further structural damage the longer it sits unaddressed.
Agee Restoration Services is a San Diego water damage specialist. We're local technicians who understand San Diego homes and buildings, and we're available around the clock to respond when water damage happens. Our goal on every call is the same: stop the damage from spreading, remove the water, and get your property drying as quickly as possible.

- Avoid walking through standing water, especially near electrical sources.
- Move photos, documents, electronics, and valuables away from the affected area if safely accessible.

Act Fast
What To Do After Discovering Water Damage
The steps you take in the first few minutes after discovering water damage can meaningfully affect how much of your property can be saved. Here's what we recommend before help arrives.
How It Works
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Every water damage situation is different. The scope and timeline of your project will depend on the extent and category of the water damage, but our process generally follows these stages.
-
Emergency Contact
Call our 24/7 line at 619-399-0516. We'll ask a few questions about your situation so our technicians arrive prepared.
-
Inspection & Moisture Assessment
We inspect the affected areas and use moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify the full extent of water intrusion, including moisture hidden behind walls or under flooring.
-
Water Extraction
Standing water is extracted using professional pumps and extraction equipment to remove as much water as possible before drying begins.
-
Controlled Demolition When Necessary
Materials that cannot be effectively dried or restored — such as saturated drywall or insulation — may need to be carefully removed to prevent further damage and support proper drying.
-
Drying & Dehumidification
Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed to dry structural materials in place, following industry-standard drying practices.
-
Moisture Monitoring
We monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process and adjust equipment placement to confirm materials are drying at the expected rate.
-
Cleaning & Restoration
Once materials are dry, affected areas are cleaned and prepared for the next phase of restoration.
-
Reconstruction When Required
For projects that involved demolition, we offer reconstruction services — including drywall repair — to help return your property to its pre-loss condition.
Not every project requires every step. The scope of work depends on the category and class of water damage, the materials affected, and how quickly mitigation began. We'll walk you through the plan for your specific situation before work begins.

Working With Your Claim
Insurance & the Restoration Process
Many water, mold, and fire damage losses are covered in whole or in part by homeowners' or commercial property insurance, depending on the cause of loss and your specific policy. We're not your insurance company and can't guarantee coverage or how an adjuster will rule on a claim — but supporting you through that process is part of how we work every job.
How We Help While Your Claim Is Being Reviewed
- Thorough documentation from the first visit — photos, moisture readings, and notes on the cause and extent of the damage.
- A clear, written scope of work explaining what needs to be done and why, in plain language you can share with your adjuster.
- Availability to meet your insurance adjuster on-site and walk them through what we found, if that's helpful for your claim.
- Organized records of the work performed as the project moves forward, so you have documentation for your own file.
- Straight answers about the restoration process itself, so a pending claim doesn't leave you guessing what's happening at your property.
We recommend contacting your insurance provider as soon as possible after discovering damage — most policies expect prompt action, which also lines up with limiting further damage. If you have questions about where things stand while your claim is under review, our team is available to walk you through it.

Customer Reviews
What San Diego Customers Say
“I contacted Gabriel from Agee after the company that insurance recommended was responding poorly to my messages and taking days to follow up. As soon as I contacted Agee they scheduled my repairs and gave me walls again. The AC is broken and we hit a nasty heat wave in SD but Agee finished everything on time. I wish I had gone with them from the beginning. I could have saved myself 2weeks of living without walls. Highly recommend Agee for your drywall needs”

“Finding Gabriel and his team at Agee has been an absolute treasure for our home. Over time, they’ve helped us with multiple projects—including a bathroom remodel, drywall and painting work, and even tracking down and resolving a stubborn mystery odor.
Across every job, Gabriel has been consistently professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. His team delivers top-notch craftsmanship, but what I especially appreciate is their respect for our home. They are not only remarkably efficient, but they are also exceptionally careful about keeping the workspace clean and tidy from start to finish.
If you are looking for reliable, high-quality home improvement and repair work handled with true professionalism and care, I cannot recommend Gabriel and Agee enough!”

“Gabriel was professional, responsive, and incredibly skilled at what he does.
He was available to start the job right away, which was a huge plus, and he worked efficiently without cutting corners. The quality of his work is top-notch — everything looks seamless and well done. On top of that, his prices were very reasonable for the high level of craftsmanship he delivered.
Gabriel is also just a genuinely nice person to have around. Respectful, friendly, and someone we’d absolutely trust with any future repairs or work needed around the house. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality home repair services!”

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly should water damage be addressed?
As soon as possible. Water can begin affecting drywall, flooring, and other materials within hours, and the risk of secondary damage increases the longer water sits. Call us as soon as you discover a leak or flooding so we can begin inspection and mitigation.
What should I do immediately after discovering water damage?
If it's safe, shut off the water source and, if standing water is near electrical outlets or wiring, avoid the area and shut off power if you can do so safely. Then call Agee Restoration Services at 619-399-0516 so we can begin assessing the damage.
How does professional structural drying work?
We use a combination of air movers, dehumidifiers, and moisture meters to dry affected structural materials in place where possible. Air movement speeds evaporation from wet surfaces while dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, and we monitor readings throughout the process to confirm materials are drying as expected.
How do technicians determine whether materials can be dried or need to be removed?
We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to assess how saturated a material is and how it's likely to respond to drying. Materials like solid wood framing can often be dried in place, while materials such as saturated insulation or certain types of drywall may need to be removed if they can't be effectively dried or restored.
How long can water damage restoration take?
Timelines vary based on the extent of the damage, the category and class of water involved, and the materials affected. Drying alone often takes several days, and projects that require demolition and reconstruction will take longer. We'll give you a project-specific estimate after our initial inspection.
What is moisture monitoring?
Moisture monitoring is the process of tracking moisture levels in affected materials throughout the drying process using moisture meters, so we can confirm materials are drying at the expected rate and know when they've reached an acceptable dry standard.
Do you perform reconstruction after mitigation?
Yes. When a project involves demolition of materials like drywall, we offer restoration and reconstruction services to help return the affected area to its pre-loss condition.
What information should I provide when calling for emergency service?
It helps to know the general source of the water if known (such as a burst pipe or appliance leak), which areas of the property are affected, and whether the water has been stopped. Don't worry if you don't have all the details — we'll ask what we need to know when you call.
