One call reaches local companies that cover Thermal and Riverside County for water, fire and mold restoration, any hour of the day.

What causes water, fire and mold damage in Thermal

Thermal shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. California's property damage risks are unusually varied: wildfire and smoke damage in the wildland-urban interface, atmospheric-river storms that overwhelm roofs and drainage in winter, post-fire debris flows, and the everyday slab leaks and supply-line failures found in slab-on-grade housing. Older housing stock in coastal cities adds aging plumbing and wiring to the list. Problems tend to peak during wildfire season in late summer and fall, storm season in winter, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Thermal, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Plumbing connections and water heaters shaken loose by seismic movement
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Oil furnace puff-backs that coat every room in soot
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp

What to do right now

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water

When and where damage happens in Thermal

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

Storm season produces the biggest spikes in calls, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen every month of the year. Late summer and fall bring wildfire smoke and structure fire risk, while kitchen fires remain the leading cause year-round. The long wet season keeps crawlspaces, siding and window frames damp, and mold follows wherever drying lags behind the rain.
