The numbers are staggering. Los Angeles set a new rainfall record with 1.9 inches in a single day—nearly double the previous record set in 1997 . And that much water doesn’t come without consequences.

The Visible Damage: What Homeowners Are Facing Right Now

In Long Beach, 8-foot-high berms are being rebuilt over and over as waves continue to pound the shoreline. Residents say they haven’t seen conditions like this in decades. One homeowner described how waves now crash over the boardwalk, creating what feels like 40-foot surges. Multiple properties have already sustained damage .

«The ocean is violent. My house is shaking,» said Michael Vescovi, a Long Beach resident whose home sits along the coast .

In Malibu, mudslides shut down Pacific Coast Highway, with mud, water, and rocks blasting through 18,000 sandbags that residents had stacked behind their homes. Kirby Kotler, a lifelong Malibu resident, used a tractor to keep debris from entering his home . He and his neighbors had just spent days preparing before the storm hit.

«I’m more than a little concerned. If we get another blast of heavy rain, there’ll be no stopping the hill from coming down,» Kotler told reporters .

The Damage Keeps Piling Up

The storm didn’t spare other parts of Southern California either:

• A child care center in Carlsbad had its roof partially collapse 
• A commercial building in Irvine suffered a roof collapse 
• Firefighters rescued motorists from cars stuck in flooded intersections in North Hollywood 
• A 13-car crash on a rainy freeway near Moreno Valley snarled traffic for hours 
• Floodwaters submerged cars in Costa Mesa 

And the threats aren’t over. Evacuation orders were issued for hundreds of homes in Trabuco Canyon and Lake Elsinore neighborhoods, where massive wildfires earlier this year left hillsides bare—creating the perfect conditions for mudslides and debris flows when the rain hit .

California Is Still Recovering

This wasn’t just one storm. It’s part of a series of severe weather events that have battered California throughout 2026. In fact, the federal government has already declared a disaster for earlier storm and tidal flooding events, making low-interest disaster loans available to affected homeowners . The SBA is offering up to $500,000 to homeowners to repair or rebuild their primary residences .

The damage from these events doesn’t stop when the rain stops. Floodwaters left behind everything from soaked drywall to rotting wood, with visible damage on homes across the region. And the longer that water sits, the more problems multiply.

When Visible Damage Is Just the Start

That crack in the wall you see? That water stain spreading across the ceiling? The buckled floorboard? Those are just the symptoms. Behind the visible damage, moisture is already working its way into materials that were never meant to get wet.

Water doesn’t stay where you can see it—it soaks into insulation, seeps into wall cavities, and saturates wooden framing . Professional restoration is what stops the visible problem from turning into a hidden disaster.

Ursa Pro Restoration is available 24/7 for emergency water extraction, drying, and mitigation across Los Angeles . They specialize in restoring homes after the exact kind of damage these storms have caused .

• Water damage restoration—removing standing water, drying structures, preventing mold
• Mold remediation—addressing contamination before it spreads
• Complete reconstruction—drywall, flooring, and structural repairs to bring homes back to their original condition

The Bottom Line

The June 2026 storms didn’t just flood basements—they collapsed roofs, shut down highways, and pushed ocean water into people’s homes. The visible damage is real, and it’s right in front of you.
