I canceled the service today, not because of Angel or SoCal Flood, it's because my wife is burning out, and it's high possibility we cannot claim the insurance due to unclear water source, no active leak... Angel is very responsive and try to help, he comes estimate on time but the situation is different from what we guessed, so my wife would like to take care of cleaning by ourselves in the end. Now I am waiting for Angel's boss to reach me out and see if any fee occurs during this visit, I know most of the company do free estimate, but I am willing to pay for good service, just hope not too much, haha. I will update how much be charged later~ read more

In January 2026, I had a water leak coming from the upstairs unit downstairs into my master bathroom of 50 sf. It was a small leak, trickling down from my light fixture. I told the neighbor right away, and she stopped using her shower until we could fix the problem. I filed a claim with my insurance... This company did a moisture test, dropped off one dehumidifier, and three air movers/fans. Then, they picked them up a week later. That is all they did. $7407.82?!? I would just say, PLEASE, PLEASE, think twice about letting your insurance (Homesite/AFICS) pick the contractors and handle the invoices. Once they pay the maximum allowed, they will wash their hands of it and will not help if you have questions regarding discrepancies with the invoices. If I had not been stuck with the remaining balances due, I would have never asked to see the billing estimates, and never would've noticed all of the inflated charges. My biggest gripe here is, do not charge for items or services that were not installed or completed, regardless if the insurance pays or if the homeowner pays out of pocket . Honesty and integrity are important. I will post the estimates and pictures here. I am filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau as well. read more

They were very communicative and helped through a complicated process. Angel is the man. Thanks SoCal Flood for all your help.

Today, Fred sent Joe to cut into my ceiling. We found the leak. Now, we know what we need the plumber to do. If you need a restoration team, call SoCal Flood! They are professional, easy to talk to and efficient! Thank you, guys! read more

So Cal Flood - Leaking pipe found. - Damage Restoration Near Me - San Diego, California

The most honest company that we dealt with in this whole situation. They not only are quick to get out there and inspect but took care of everything in a timely manner. We've never had to hire a restoration company so we were dealing with multiple companies providing inspections and quotes but none compared to So Cal Flood. Will recommend them to any family and friends and that may end up in an unfortunate water leak situation. read more

I knew I couldn't be the only person with my experience in working with So Cal Flood and sure enough, I see at least 2 others with a similar review. Fred jumped at the opportunity to get our insurance involved. He even called himself and filed the claim on our behalf insisting that it was "such a small job" it would definitely be covered (our water heater bursted so they demo'd the small cutout where the water heater sits in our garage and dried it out with industrial fans). 2 months later, his billing department is calling me saying that we owe him $11K (ELEVEN THOUSAND!!) from the balance not covered by my insurance. $11K to demo a space smaller than a powder room?! not once did he provide an estimate for the work because he insisted everything would be covered. Even my insurance adjuster said this company is notorious for way over inflating invoices when they know insurance is involved. $11K is an obscene amount of money when originally stating everything would be covered. This is literally criminal so I'm in the process of taking them to small claims court. Stay far away from them unless you're looking to team up on a class action lawsuit. read more

Fred and Robert from So Cal Flood made our scary leak experience as quick and seamless as possible. They came out on a holiday (New Years Day) to check for moisture and started the drying out process the very next day. They were awesome communicators from start to finish and just overall very helpful and knowledgeable. Robert handled the cutting and drying process for us and he was extremely professional, smart, and kind. I hope I don't need to use them again but definitely will if need be! And I will absolutely recommend to any friends and family. Thank you, Robert and Fred! read more

Five star review right here! We had a leak in our home and Fred Cruz came to help. He was very friendly, amiable and professional. He walked us through the entire process and made it easy for us to understand what was going to be happening. As I mentioned to him, I am going to spread the word about his company be great! read more

This is a long awaited review from a very unpleasant experience with SoCal Flood. Our rental property was impacted by a neighbor's water leak. At the time of the incident, I was coerced and manipulated by SoCal. I was recovering from a recent surgery and was heavily medicated. My tenant and neighbor called to report the issue and I told her I will be reporting it to my insurance, however, a representative from SoCal came on the phone and insisted that I go there immediately to see the damages. We never called SoCal, they were somehow called by the neighbor's plumber to get the business. Because it was only about a 5 minute walk from our house, I went ahead. When I got there, I was coerced to open up my insurance app on the phone to submit my claim. I told SoCal I am not coherent and not in the right mind but he was insisting. My neighbor and tenant witnessed the whole ordeal when SoCal kept reassuring that they will work with my insurance and that there will be no out of pocket expense from me. Because the situation was quite overwhelming and SoCal seemed trustworthy at the time, I agreed for them to do mitigation process. Lo and behold, our insurance USAA could not justify the exceedingly high charges from their invoice. USAA, a very reputable insurance company stated that their charges were not industry standard. And because USAA only agreed to pay a portion initially, I was harassed with letters and phone calls that they will be placing a lien on our home. I have already consulted a lawyer at the time and have obtained my witnesses documentation but thankfully they finally agreed to work with USAA which took months. So, NO, I would definitely look elsewhere and not use SoCal Flood. read more

Very prompt service! Came to our home within 30 minutes of calling! Jeff was very friendly, professional, and honest. Having your life turned upside down by a flood is devastating but Jeff was very sympathetic and helped us get back on our feet so we are one step closer to having our house be a home again. Highly recommend! read more

Currently dealing with this company as they have failed to meet their part of an agreement. They promised our family we would only come out of pocket our insurance deductible. However months later after harassing us and billing us an invoice. They are telling me I have to come out of pocket to cover the remaining balance. The work in my house isn't completely done yet. My fridge currently sits in my dining room. Not family friendly, communication is horrible as Fred never responds to any form of communication. read more

After finding water in my kitchen we were put in contact with SoCal Flood. Nate showed up within the hour, set up the time to dry out the affected areas and walked us through the whole process to get our space back to working condition.

We are currently dealing with a water damage issue in our home that has affected a bathroom, a closet and a part of the wall in the master bedroom. It is not what one would call a fun situation. However, just wanted to say that So Cal flood has been really great so far. From the beginning when Fred came by and immediately walked us through all the details of the remediation process and, to Jason (and his team - Manny, Jerome and Ricardo) being with us every step of the way so far. Not only do they know their own part of the work, they are also super helpful in figuring out what the insurance entails and putting us in touch with contractors so that everything can be put back together. Thank you, guys! While one would hope never to be in such situations, I can only say that So Cal is the group to reach out to ...just in case. read more

Jerome and Ricardo were great to work with from the time they arrived until they completed the work - so polite and made it painless for my family and me. Definitely recommend if you ever find yourself with water damage of any sort. read more

They really seem to know their stuff; and I've been very impressed. read more

I hired SoCalFlood because they came highly recommended. I couldn't have been more disappointed I had to fire them before they did anymore damage to my property! Jason and Ricardo lied to me from the beginning.Tricking me into signing a contract. They said it would just give them permission to check if I had insurance They submitted a invoice for $3,980.27 for two men working two half days I'm sure It will have to sue them to get compensation for the damage they did to my property. The owner of SoCal Flood called this morning and said he was very sorry.He said he would make things right. He agreed to pay for the cost of replacing the vanity and replacing the tub access panel. I was very impressed. He said that the invoice was computer generated and it would be adjusted read more

So far so good! We were referred to SoCal Flood and they were very quick to get on the scene when our bathroom had some issues. They are very communicative and have been great throughout the process. We are still going through the process of building everything back but so far so good! read more
