“Sparkle Restoration and the entire team that took care of us were amazingly knowledgeable, hardworking, professional, and caring. We have a 4-bedroom home that was severely damaged by an overflowing toilet when no one was home. It was a total disaster! Fortunately, Sparkle handled everything for us. From coordinating with our insurance company to the handling of our furniture and belongings and they worked diligently until home looked as good as before the damage. We couldn’t be any happier with our experience! Do yourself a favor and don’t give it a second thought. Hire Sparkle immediately if you find yourselves in a horrible water situation like we did.” – Donald F.
Obvious causes of water damage in San Clemente CA are the ones you often encounter during the rainy season when a roof, a window, or a skylight leaks, and your home experiences minor or severe flood damage. But water damage losses may also happen/occur slowly over time caused by “not-so-obvious culprits”. A slightly misdirected sprinkler head that over-sprays external walls can slowly affect framing wood members and the materials in the inner part of the wall. Oftentimes, potentially affected walls are covered by a couch or another piece of furniture, and the damage is not detected until the residents detect the smell of moisture.
Common water losses include pin-hole leaks in pressurized water lines, sump pump failure, toilet overflow, sink overflow, bathtub overflow, washing machine, refrigerator, water heater, or dishwasher overflow, air conditioner leaks, as well as flooding from storms.
A broken or leaky pipe located inside the walls, the foundation, the attic, or elsewhere, is also a frequent cause of water damage. In any of these scenarios, the homeowner may often be unaware of the problem until some visible signs appear, like hardwood floor water damage caused by water saturation, wet carpets, or signs of mildew marks on a wall, ceiling, etc.
Whatever the reason for your San Clemente water damage, whether it’s small broken or leaky pipe water damage, or you’ve suffered a large-loss from storm damage, professional water damage repair is highly advisable to prevent further harm to your home and your health. Our water damage services were built with you in mind.

Category 1 – This is clean water that comes from a sanitary source like faucets, toilet tanks, a bursting pressurized water supply line, and such. But this category of loss can quickly change into becoming
Category 2 or grey water! – This is referred as greywater and refers to water that contains a significant level of contamination. Greywater can potentially carry microorganisms, as well as other organic and inorganic matter that can cause discomfort or illness if contacted or ingested. (IICRC link) Examples of grey water are overflows from washing machines, dishwashers, toilet bowls( with some urine but no feces), and also broken aquariums and punctured water beds.
Category 3 – This is the worst classification of water loss. It is highly contaminated and unsanitary with the possibility of causing severe illness and even death if ingested.

A licensed water extraction professional from San Clemente CA will start the water damage cleanup process by evaluating your water damage first before starting the water removal process of excess water or the drying process. Once the water removal is complete, the drying process can begin by first getting to evaporate the remaining water that has already penetrated baseboards, walls, and floors. Sparkle uses a specialized drying process called Advanced Drying System (ADS), to accomplish this task very efficiently and effectively.
Special dehumidifier equipment pumps out low pressure, dry air and also collects the evaporated moisture particles in the air that got extracted from structural materials through air movement. The dehumidifiers then convert the evaporated water into liquid form again transporting it through hoses to a nearby sink or similar drain outlet to dispose of it.
Through the entire water damage restoration process, your restoration contractor should keep you informed of the progress being made. As part of our water damage services, we continuously inspect air and affected material moisture levels with special monitoring tools like moisture sensors and thermo-hygrometers that give us temperature and humidity readings. This lets us control the drying process.
