Storm Runoff in Kailua-Kona Neighborhood Carries Dangerous Bacteria?

We restore storm damage in Hawaii and Maui.

Aloha! When it rains, stormwater runoff can expose locals to dangerous bacteria. Our local Hawaii and Maui teams have the training, protective gear, and specialized equipment to mitigate and safely restore homes exposed to contaminated water, or “black water” in Kailua-Kona.

Heavy rain can carry contaminated water into homes, especially if there are drainage system issues or the ground is already saturated. Contaminated water can come from various sources, such as overflowing sewage systems, agricultural runoff carrying pesticides or animal waste, or industrial pollutants washed into waterways.

When heavy rain occurs, stormwater runoff can pick up these contaminants and bring them into residential areas, potentially infiltrating homes through basements, cracks in foundations, or poorly sealed entry points. This is why homeowners must take measures to protect their homes from water infiltration during heavy rain events, such as ensuring proper drainage systems, sealing cracks, and elevating valuables in basements or low-lying areas.
