Water Damage Restoration in El Cajon, CA

El Cajon’s valley setting and hot, sometimes stormy weather can create unexpected water challenges. Heavy winter rains, aging roofs, older plumbing, slab-on-grade foundations, and irrigation issues can all lead to leaks, flooding, and hidden moisture. Low-lying areas and properties near drainage channels can be especially vulnerable during intense storms.

White Glove Restoration provides fast, dependable water damage restoration designed for El Cajon’s mix of older homes, newer developments, and commercial spaces.

Mold Remediation in El Cajon, CA

• Assessment of fire, smoke, and water-related damage
