Mission Valley Businesses Hit Hard by Powerful Storm and Flooding?

3/12/2024 (Permalink)

We are leaders in commercial storm damage restoration services in San Diego.

Our local Mission Valley East team has been busy this year mitigating and restoring storm-related flooding that has impacted many businesses in San Diego County. Mission Valley is susceptible to storm flooding due to a combination of geographical and environmental factors:

Low-Lying Topography:  Mission Valley is characterized by its relatively flat and low-lying terrain. The valley's natural topography makes it prone to flooding because water from heavy rain or storms tends to collect and pool in low-lying areas.

Proximity to Rivers: Mission Valley is intersected by the San Diego River. During periods of heavy rainfall or intense storms, the river can overflow its banks and inundate the surrounding areas, including Mission Valley. The river's proximity amplifies the flood risk.

Urban Development: Paved surfaces in urban areas reduce natural water absorption and increase surface runoff, which can overwhelm drainage systems during storms.

Stormwater Drainage Systems: Inadequate drainage infrastructure or systems that are not properly maintained can result in water not being efficiently channeled away from the valley during storms.

Climate Variability: Climate variability can lead to intense storms that produce large amounts of rainfall, which may exceed the capacity of existing drainage systems.
