Locate the Source

We track down exactly where the water is coming from and shut it down before anything else. No guesswork – just thermal cameras and experience.

Extract Standing Water

Our crews pull water out fast using truck-mounted extractors and submersible pumps. The quicker it’s gone, the less structural damage and mold risk you’re dealing with.

Structural Drying

Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers run continuously, monitored with daily moisture readings until walls, floors, and framing hit target levels.

Burst Supply Line – Kearny Mesa

Supply line under our kitchen sink split on a Tuesday night. By the time we noticed, water had gotten under the hardwood through the dining room and into the front hall. Called Finch around 10 PM, they had a crew at our place in Kearny Mesa within the hour. Thermal cameras showed exactly where the moisture traveled – way further than we thought. They opened up just the sections that needed it, placed dehumidifiers and air movers, and checked readings every single day. Took about nine days total to dry. Our hardwood floors actually survived, which honestly shocked us. Really solid work from start to finish.

Toilet Overflow

Upstairs toilet overflowed and soaked the bathroom, hall carpet, and part of the ceiling below. Finch showed up same day, ripped out the wet pad, had fans going by afternoon. Dry in about five days. Straightforward, no drama.

Carlos M., San Diego, CA

Water Heater Flood – Mission Hills

Old water heater finally gave out in our Mission Hills house, dumped gallons into the garage and utility closet. Got home and it was a mess. Finch arrived in under two hours, started pumping immediately. They pulled soaked drywall, dried the concrete slab, and treated all the framing with antimicrobial spray. The project manager explained each step clearly and was patient with all my questions about insurance paperwork. Even suggested a drain pan setup for the new heater. Ten days later the garage was honestly cleaner than before the flood.

Patricia L., Mission Hills, CA

Washing Machine Leak

Washer hose burst while we were at work. Came back to a wet laundry room and soggy hallway carpet. Finch got it dried out, checked the walls for hidden moisture. Quick turnaround, fair price.

Roof Leak After January Storm – Point Loma

That big storm in January hit our Point Loma house hard. Roof leaked right into the master bedroom – ceiling stain spreading, carpet soaked, water dripping down the wall. Called Finch, they sent a crew same afternoon. Covered furniture with plastic, cut out the damaged ceiling sections, set up fans and dehumidifiers. They coordinated with our roofer so the leak was patched before they sealed anything up. Took photos at every stage for our insurance claim, which saved us a ton of hassle. Bedroom was dry and back to normal in about a week. Clean work, great follow-through.

Robert & Lisa T., Point Loma, CA

Dishwasher Slow Leak

Dishwasher had a slow leak we didn’t catch for weeks. Tile grout warped, subfloor underneath was soft. Finch used moisture meters to figure out how far it spread, dried the subfloor properly. Professional job, no corners cut.

Michelle W., San Diego, CA

Two-Story Flood – Clairemont

Came home to water pouring through our first-floor ceiling in Clairemont – supply line under the upstairs bathroom sink had burst while we were out. Total disaster. Finch got here that night and started extraction immediately. They opened strategic spots in the ceiling to check moisture in the walls, ran equipment on both floors, and sealed off work zones so we could still use part of the house. Daily monitoring with photos and moisture readings sent to us. Two weeks later both floors were bone dry. They even helped us with the insurance paperwork. Can’t say enough good things about how they handled this.

Amanda & James P., Clairemont, CA

Slab Leak Discovery

Water bill tripled out of nowhere. Turned out to be a slab leak. Finch brought detection equipment, pinpointed it, got a plumber coordinated, then dried after the repair was done. Thorough and efficient.

Brian H., San Diego, CA

Kitchen Fire Hose Damage – Normal Heights

Small grease fire in the kitchen at our Normal Heights place, fire department put it out but the hose water did a number on the first floor. Finch handled the water extraction and brought in their fire restoration team for the smoke and soot cleanup. One crew drying, another cleaning – and a project manager keeping it all coordinated. Could’ve been a nightmare dealing with separate companies but they handled the whole thing under one roof. Three weeks and the house looked normal again. Really solid work.

Daniel & Maria S., Normal Heights, CA

Crawlspace Flooding

Rainwater pooled up in our crawlspace after a heavy storm. Finch pumped it out, dried it completely, and installed a vapor barrier. Gave us drainage recommendations too. Good crew, knew exactly what they were doing.

Sarah K., San Diego, CA

Fridge Water Line Rupture – Hillcrest

Woke up to a flooded kitchen in Hillcrest – the fridge water line had ruptured overnight. Water made it all the way to the pantry and into the den. Called Finch first thing, they were here within 90 minutes. Extracted the standing water, used thermal cameras to check inside the walls and cabinets, pulled up damaged flooring sections. Big commercial dehumidifiers running, checked twice a day. They dealt with our insurance adjuster directly and covered all the appliances and furniture with plastic during the work. Nine days later, floors totally dry. Communication was excellent the whole time.

Thomas & Rachel G., Hillcrest, CA

Window Seal Leak

Wind-driven rain got through a bad window seal, soaked the bedroom wall and carpet underneath. Finch pulled the water out, dried the wall cavity, and resealed the window. Fast, no-nonsense service.

Kevin W., San Diego, CA

Hidden Mold Behind Shower – North Park

Called Finch about a leak under our bathroom sink in North Park. During the inspection they found old mold growth behind the vanity that we had no idea was there. They fixed the water issue first, then brought in their mold remediation specialists to deal with the growth. Full containment, proper treatment, and they rebuilt the vanity area with moisture-resistant materials. Passed clearance testing on the first try. Really glad they caught the hidden problem before it got worse.

Christopher & Nicole L., North Park, CA

AC Condensate Overflow

AC drain line clogged up, dumped water into the closet below it. Soaked the ceiling and carpet in the hallway. Finch dried it out quickly and installed a safety shutoff switch on the AC unit so it won’t happen again. Smart fix.

Laura F., San Diego, CA

Main Line Break – Bay Park

Main water line broke at our Bay Park house and flooded multiple rooms before we could shut it off. Finch handled extraction and drying, and recommended packing out our furniture so they could get better access to the walls and floors. Their pack-out team inventoried and stored our belongings while the structural crew worked. Having one company handle both sides made it so much simpler. Always knew where things stood, got regular updates. Five weeks later, house restored, stuff returned in great shape. Turned what could’ve been a total nightmare into a manageable situation.

Steven & Emily M., Bay Park, CA

Bathtub Overflow – Condo

Tenant left the bathtub running, water went through the floor into the unit below. Finch coordinated with both condos, dried both units out. Made a complicated landlord situation much easier to deal with.

Jessica R., San Diego, CA

Canyon Runoff Flood – Allied Gardens

Big rainstorm sent canyon runoff straight into our Allied Gardens basement through a foundation crack we didn’t know about. Standing water covered the whole floor. Finch came out same day with pumps and extraction gear. Pulled all the water, ripped out soaked carpet and pad, dried the concrete and walls with commercial dehumidifiers running for about two weeks. Daily moisture checks the entire time. They spotted the foundation crack and told us to get it sealed right away, which we did. Basement has been dry ever since. These guys really understand how hillside drainage works around here.

Paul & Victoria D., Allied Gardens, CA

Shower Pan Failure

Cracked shower pan had been leaking into the room below for who knows how long. Finch confirmed it with a camera, removed the wet drywall, and dried it all out properly. Coordinated with our contractor on the shower rebuild too. Good communication throughout.

Angela T., San Diego, CA

Office Sprinkler Malfunction – Mission Valley

Fire sprinkler went off accidentally at our Mission Valley office space, spraying water for several minutes before the system got shut down. Finch arrived fast and worked with their fire restoration specialists to assess the sprinkler damage alongside the water cleanup. Extracted from carpet, dried drywall and ceiling tiles, cleaned all the office equipment. Did most of the work after business hours so we didn’t lose a single day of operations. Back to normal in about a week. Having a crew that handles both water and fire-related damage made this way less complicated.

Richard B., Mission Valley, CA

Slow Leak Turned Mold Issue

Bathroom wall had a slow leak we never noticed until the drywall started bubbling. Finch opened it up and found extensive moisture damage plus mold behind the wall. They brought in their mold team and handled the water removal, mold remediation, and wall reconstruction. One company for the whole job saved us from juggling multiple contractors.

Nancy W., San Diego, CA

Pipe Burst During Cold Snap – Ocean Beach

That rare cold snap froze an exterior pipe at our Ocean Beach place. Burst the next morning and flooded the utility room and hallway before we caught it. Finch came out right away even though they were swamped with freeze-related calls. Extracted all the standing water, opened the wall to pull wet insulation, set dryers everywhere. They showed us how to insulate the vulnerable pipes so it wouldn’t happen again. Monitored the drying for about ten days, and made absolutely sure the walls were bone dry before closing anything up. Went above and beyond for us. Would recommend them to anyone searching for a water restoration company near me – they’re the real deal.
