Top 5 Flood Risks for San Diego Homes
1. Coastal Flooding and Rising Sea Levels
Preventative Tip: Homeowners in coastal areas should consider installing seawalls, flood barriers, and elevating critical utilities to mitigate damage.
2. Stormwater Runoff During Heavy Rainfall
Although San Diego is known for its dry climate, heavy rains—especially during winter storms—can overwhelm the city’s stormwater systems. Poor drainage in certain neighborhoods leads to localized flooding, often damaging homes and infrastructure. Older neighborhoods with outdated drainage systems are particularly at risk.
Preventative Tip: Regularly clean gutters, downspouts, and nearby storm drains to ensure water flows away from your home during heavy rains.
3. Flash Flooding in Canyons and Hillsides
Preventative Tip: Reinforce retaining walls, inspect drainage systems near hillsides, and consider flood insurance if your property is in a high-risk area.
4. Broken Water Mains and Plumbing Failures
Preventative Tip: Schedule regular inspections of your home’s plumbing and replace old or corroded pipes to reduce the risk of internal flooding.
5. Mold Growth Following Minor Flooding
Preventative Tip: Always ensure proper drying and dehumidification following any water intrusion. Partner with professional restoration companies to address potential mold issues before they escalate.
