We are San Diego Water Damage Experts since 1979; our Institute of Inspection
Cleaning and Restoration (IICRC) certified professionals have the expertise to immediately inspect the scene of a loss and document the extent of water damage inside your home, business and structure.
We use Thermal Imaging to scan entire rooms to quickly determine moisture within the structure and save money by lowering labor costs, thereby; costs are lowered by reducing the need to remove building materials to check for moisture with simple moisture meters. We also reduce costs by locating pre-existing conditions in the home, business, structure and contents.
Brinks professional and certified technicians are experts in analyzing and handling all categories of water damage including clean water, gray water and black water which contains pathogenic agents, pesticides, heavy metals or toxins.
Our professional staff of (IICRC) certified technicians are trained in advanced water extraction, applied structural drying methods, use of our extensive inventory (1000+ pieces) of refrigerant and desiccant portable dehumidifiers, air movers, and truck-mounted extraction units equipped to respond to losses of every size. We maintain logs with detailed measurements that track temperature, humidity and moisture content of structural materials. Often, the logs are cited by insurance companies as a comprehensive record of the loss and subsequent recovery.
Our clients often cite our methods of reduced drying time as the most important reason for the increased recovery of furniture and contents. Brinks can reduce your replacement-reconstruction costs by up to 70% by drying in place vs. the old fashioned “rip and replace” method. The first hours and days are critical after a water intrusion. Brinks professional and certified teams are available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
Brinks will create a detailed report, assessment and estimate using Exactimate, the same software accepted and used by insurance adjusters and carriers. Brinks has been a “Preferred Vendor” and “Quality Vendor” to the insurance industry for over 25 years.

Testing concrete slabs for moisture is particularly important where flooring or impermeable membranes are to be installed on the concrete slab. Concrete slabs have an ever changing environment with moisture moving in and out of the slab and because of this, moisture is not evenly distributed.
Therefore, no one test or one test area should be indicative of the moisture in a concrete slab. Brinks suggests the concrete slab be tested by three different methods and several areas within a room that is going to receive flooring or has moisture problems.

Have you seen air particles floating in the air when looking in a sunbeam? Then you can imagine the amount of particulates around you and what’s inside your home's Heating and Air Conditioning duct systems.
These particles may include almost everything that can float in and around the house, including animal skin flakes, animal hairs, human skin flakes, human hairs, mold spores, bacteria, and vehicle exhaust fumes.
If anyone is allergic to any of these items then they may feel the effects of being exposed to allergens when the Heating or Air Conditioning system is turned on, additionally, the stove ducting and dryer ducting should be checked and cleaned to help ensure a cleaner environment.
