Water Damage Restoration in Chula Vista, CA
Our team at DRC Restoration responded to a water loss at a single family home in Chula Vista, CA after the homeowner noticed moisture along baseboards and bubbling paint in several rooms. On arrival, our certified technicians performed a full moisture assessment, mapped affected areas with a thermal camera, and set a work plan to protect unaffected spaces. The priority was to stop further damage, dry the structure efficiently, and return the home to pre loss condition as quickly as possible.
Assessment and planning
Our inspection confirmed elevated moisture in drywall, baseboards, and insulation in the living room, hallway, and an adjacent bedroom. We installed containment to isolate the work zone and created negative air for proper air exchanges. The scope included controlled demolition of unsalvageable materials, targeted drying of structural components, and surface cleaning with an antimicrobial application. We coordinated with the homeowner’s insurance to align documentation, photos, and daily readings with the approved claim.
Mitigation and dry out
We removed damaged drywall and wet insulation where needed, protected flooring and contents with coverings, and completed a light pack out as required. Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers were placed to establish an effective drying chamber. The team recorded daily moisture readings, adjusted equipment placement, and verified progress until readings reached the dry standard. Exposed cavities were cleaned and treated with an EPA registered antimicrobial to reduce the risk of secondary issues.
Reconstruction and finishes
After dry standard was confirmed, we installed new 1/2 inch drywall, taped seams, and applied a matching knockdown texture. Surfaces were primed and finished with two coats of quality paint for a uniform look. We reinstalled or replaced baseboards and door casing to match existing profiles. Fixtures and hardware were reset, and the work areas received a detailed cleanup. Throughout the rebuild, our crew focused on clean lines, consistent sheen, and a seamless blend with surrounding finishes.
Result
The Chula Vista residence was returned to pre loss condition with no visible signs of water damage. Moisture readings confirmed a dry, healthy structure, and the updated finishes blended with the rest of the home. The homeowner regained comfort and peace of mind with a clean, safe space ready for daily living.
