Chaparral Flooding Cleanup

Helping When Devastation Strikes

The drastic changes on the landscape after catastrophic wildfires affects ecosystems and how water moves across the land. High intensity wildfires scorch soil and greatly reduce the amount of vegetation on hillslopes. When rain comes down over the burn scar, these barren slopes allow water to move quickly downhill because very little stands in the way to slow down the flow or absorb the water. The steep mountainsides and hydrophobic soils found in our region further complicate problems with flooding. As more water rushes down and picks up speed, it is collecting sediment and debris. These debris-laden floodwaters are highly destructive to anything in their path, including homes, habitats, and streams.

Chaparral Construction is uniquely qualified to help because of our experience with local and state wide agencies and organizations. We also have the wide selection of construction equipment which allows us to go almost anywhere to clean up after flooding.
