San Diego Water Damage Company sends licensed, IICRC-certified technicians to homes and businesses across Hershey, PA — day or night, weekends and holidays included. We stop the damage, dry the structure, and document everything your insurance company needs.
Property owners in Hershey don't call a restoration company on a good day — they call because something has already gone wrong, and often at an inconvenient hour. We built our Hershey operation around that reality: real people answering the phone, technicians who explain what's happening in plain language, and a process that doesn't leave you wondering what comes next.
We're not a national call center reading from a script — we're a Hershey-area crew of licensed, IICRC-certified technicians who understand local building materials, local weather patterns, and what your insurance adjuster is going to ask for. That local knowledge is why homeowners and property managers across Hershey keep our number saved.
We carry full general liability coverage and hold active state licensing, so you can let us into your home or business with confidence. Our trucks stay stocked with commercial-grade extraction equipment, air movers, and dehumidifiers so we never have to make a second trip for basic gear.
Water damage restoration isn't just about pulling water out of a room — it's about protecting the long-term value and safety of your Hershey property. That means checking behind walls, under flooring, and inside cavities that a homeowner might never think to inspect, using moisture meters and thermal imaging to find what the eye can't see.
We built San Diego Water Damage Company around Hershey because this is where our technicians live, work, and raise their families. That local investment shows up in how we treat every job — not as a transaction, but as a neighbor helping a neighbor through a genuinely stressful situation.
Every water loss is different, which is why we run a full range of Water Damage Inspection services rather than a one-size-fits-all playbook. Here's what our Hershey crews handle most often.
Burst pipes, sewage backups, and sudden flooding don't wait for business hours — neither do we. Our Hershey emergency crews arrive with truck-mounted extraction units to pull standing water out fast, then move straight into drying and containment.
Our residential Water Damage Inspection service walks Hershey homeowners through every stage: extraction, structural drying, sanitizing, and rebuild — with clear updates so nothing feels like a mystery at any point.
We work directly with Hershey property managers, landlords, and business owners to minimize closures — after-hours scheduling, large-loss equipment, and a single point of contact throughout the entire job.
Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours of a water event. We apply antimicrobial treatments and monitor moisture levels in Hershey properties to keep it from ever taking hold in the first place.
Once your Hershey property is dry, our reconstruction team handles drywall, flooring, trim, and paint — so you deal with one company from the emergency call to the finished repair, no handoffs.
Our team prepares moisture readings, photo documentation, and scope-of-work reports that Hershey adjusters recognize — cutting down back-and-forth and speeding up approval on your claim.
We think Hershey customers deserve to know exactly who's walking into their home or business, and what training they've completed.
Before a technician ever responds to a Hershey call solo, they complete IICRC-recognized training covering water damage restoration fundamentals, drying science, and safety protocols for contaminated water. Many of our senior technicians also hold applied structural drying certification for more complex losses.
We also require background checks and drug screening for every Hershey team member, and technicians recertify periodically as industry standards evolve. That consistency is part of why Hershey customers trust the crew we send.
After years of responding to Hershey properties, a handful of causes show up again and again. Here's what to watch for.
Aging plumbing, sudden temperature swings, and worn supply lines are among the most common reasons Hershey residents call us. A single burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons before it's noticed, especially overnight.
Heavy storms, wind-driven rain, and aging roofing materials all contribute to water intrusion in Hershey homes and businesses, especially in older roof systems nearing the end of their lifespan.
Clogged municipal lines, tree root intrusion, and sump pump failures can send contaminated water back into Hershey basements and lower levels, requiring specialized cleanup and sanitizing.
Water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, and HVAC condensation lines are common — and often overlooked — sources of slow leaks that eventually cause significant damage in Hershey properties if left unnoticed.
Poor drainage patterns are a frequent contributor to recurring water issues in Hershey basements, especially in older neighborhoods with mature landscaping and settled soil.
After a fire is out, the water used to fight it often causes its own separate restoration need across affected Hershey floors and rooms, sometimes worse than the fire itself.
We keep the process simple and predictable, even when the situation at your Hershey property feels anything but.
A real person answers, asks a few quick questions about the damage, and dispatches the nearest available Hershey crew.
A licensed technician arrives, typically within about an hour, and performs a full assessment of the damage.
Standing water is extracted using truck-mounted or portable pumps depending on the scope of the Hershey loss.
Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed strategically, and moisture levels are checked daily until the structure reads dry.
Once dry, any needed repairs or reconstruction begin, and we walk the Hershey property with you before closing the job.
Every step is photographed and logged, so your insurance claim has the documentation it needs from day one.
We'd rather explain our guarantee plainly than bury it in fine print. Here's exactly what it means for Hershey customers.
If our Hershey technicians miss moisture somewhere, or if a drying target isn't actually met before equipment was pulled, we come back and correct it at no additional cost to you. That's true whether the issue is found the same week or discovered a month later during a routine check. We'd rather fix a mistake than have a Hershey customer discover a problem on their own.
We also stand behind our estimates. If we quote a scope of work and later discover the actual damage requires less work than expected, you pay for what was actually needed — not the original estimate. And if something turns out to be more extensive once we open up a wall or pull flooring, we stop, explain what we found, and get your approval before continuing.
Every Hershey vehicle in our fleet is stocked with commercial extraction pumps, industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and thermal imaging cameras — the same tools used on large-scale commercial losses, scaled down for residential jobs.
Where a household fan just circulates air, our equipment is engineered to extract moisture from the structure itself — from drywall, subfloor, and framing — which is the only way to prevent the mold growth that hidden dampness eventually causes.
Mold, warping, and structural damage set in fast. Reach out the moment you notice water, and we'll have a technician heading your way.
📞 +1-844-499-0972We built our Water Damage Inspection process around the things that actually matter to Hershey homeowners and business owners during a stressful event: speed, honesty, and a job done right.
We quote clearly and explain every charge, so there's nothing sprung on you later once the job is already underway.
We stage locally so Hershey calls don't sit in a queue waiting for a crew from across the state — you get a nearby technician, not a distant dispatch office.
Every technician meets IICRC S500 standards and carries full insurance for your protection, so you're never taking on liability by letting us in.
Our reports are built to speed up claims, not slow them down — formatted the way Hershey adjusters expect to see them.
Our Hershey crews don't consider a job finished until you're satisfied with the result, not just when the invoice is paid.
We understand common construction types and drainage issues across Hershey neighborhoods, which helps us diagnose problems faster than an out-of-town crew could.
Nothing tells the story of a Water Damage Inspection job better than the people who lived through it.
"Our water heater failed overnight and by the time we woke up the hallway carpet was soaked. San Diego Water Damage Company had a technician here within the hour and walked us through every step, and the whole area was dry within a few days."
"We manage several buildings in Hershey and San Diego Water Damage Company has become our go-to for any water event. Communication is excellent and the billing is always straightforward, no surprises on the invoice."
"Storm flooding got into our basement and I honestly didn't know where to start. The team explained the whole process, worked with our insurance, and got everything dried out within about a week."
"I run a small retail shop and a roof leak during a storm soaked half the store. They got extraction going the same night and had us back open within days, well ahead of what I expected."
"What impressed me most was the honesty. They told us upfront what was salvageable and what wasn't, instead of running up unnecessary charges we didn't need."
Plenty of Hershey homeowners try to handle a small water event themselves before calling us. Here's what usually gets missed.
The visible water on your Hershey floor is often only part of the problem. Water wicks upward into drywall, travels along subfloor seams, and pools inside wall cavities where a rented fan will never reach it. Without professional-grade dehumidification and moisture monitoring, that hidden dampness can sit for weeks, quietly feeding mold growth long after the surface looks and feels dry to the touch.
Insurance carriers generally want to see documented proof that a water loss was properly mitigated. A DIY cleanup rarely produces that kind of record, which can leave Hershey homeowners exposed if related damage — like mold or warped subfloor — shows up months later and the carrier questions whether it was handled correctly the first time.
None of this means every spill needs a professional crew — a small, contained, surface-level spill that's dried within a few hours is usually fine to handle yourself. But once water has soaked into flooring, baseboards, or drywall, or if it's been sitting for more than a few hours, it's worth a call to make sure nothing's hiding beneath the surface.
The minutes before our Hershey crew arrives matter. Here's what our dispatchers typically recommend, situation permitting.
If the water is coming from a pipe, appliance, or fixture you can safely reach, shut off the supply valve or main.
Never touch electrical switches, outlets, or appliances that are wet or near standing water — the risk of shock is real.
If it's safe, move furniture, electronics, and important documents away from the affected area or up off the floor.
A quick photo record of standing water and affected belongings makes the insurance process smoother down the line.
If weather allows, opening windows or doors can help slow humidity buildup until our Hershey team arrives with drying equipment.
The sooner you call, the sooner a Hershey technician starts heading your way — don't wait to see if it "dries on its own."
Most Hershey homeowners have never dealt with a major water claim before. Here's how San Diego Water Damage Company makes the process more manageable.
From the moment our Hershey technician arrives, we begin building a documentation file: photos of the damage, moisture readings, a written scope of work, and a materials inventory where applicable. This file is formatted in a way that Hershey insurance adjusters recognize, which tends to speed up claim approval and reduce back-and-forth requests for additional information.
In many cases we can bill your insurer directly rather than requiring you to pay in full and wait for reimbursement. Coverage details vary by policy, so our Hershey team will walk you through what to expect based on your specific insurance company.
San Diego Water Damage Company dispatches throughout Hershey and the surrounding zip codes, so wherever you are in town, a crew can reach you.

Whether you're in a downtown Hershey high-rise, a suburban single-family home, or a commercial property on the outskirts of town, our dispatch network is built to reach you quickly. We stage technicians and equipment throughout the Hershey area specifically so response times stay consistent no matter where in town the call comes from.
From historic single-family homes to modern commercial buildings, Hershey's property mix is diverse — so is our equipment.
Whether your Hershey property is a single-story ranch home, a multi-unit apartment building, or a commercial storefront, the fundamentals of water damage restoration stay the same — extract, dry, monitor, repair — but the details matter. Our technicians adjust equipment placement, drying time estimates, and material handling based on what's actually in the building.
We also stay familiar with Hershey's typical weather patterns and seasonal risks, from spring storm season to winter freeze-thaw cycles that can stress older pipes. That local awareness helps us anticipate problems and respond more efficiently when a call comes in.
