Causes of Water Damage

Water damage takes many forms and can strike even the most prepared business or home. Different flood damage causes require different answers. Regardless of the cause or scale of flood damage in your home or business, Paul Davis Emergency Services respond quickly and effectively.

These are some of the most typical reasons for water damage:

Severe Storms

Heavy rainfall can test any structure’s integrity. When weather becomes serious, water becomes a strong element. Be it a flash flood, tornado, or blizzard, if water hits your property, it becomes a serious matter. Nobody is prepared for every scenario, but if water damage strikes, you’ll have our expertise.

Flooding in the Basement

Basements are magnets for runoff water, whether from rain, roof damage, a damaged water pump, or some other source. It only takes a single break in the foundation for water to flow in. Paul Davis experts are highly trained to eliminate flooding from cellars, clean and restore your possessions, and dry everything fast to minimize damage. Our team doesn’t rest until we verify that the job is complete.

Problems with Sewage Leaks

Sewage flooding is not only repellent, it’s hazardous. Black or grey water contamination carries microbes that may lead to infection. Backup from sewer clogs should be designated as a crisis and be remedied immediately. Certified Paul Davis emergency responders evaluate and eliminate the damage from the sewage and any standing water damage may have happened. Our equipment and years of training will eliminate the issues with safety and quality.

Busted Pipes & Appliance Malfunctions

If a sink, bathtub, water heater or any other appliance floods, the outcome can range from annoying to devastating. Stagnant flooding on the floor can seep into the foundation, collecting in out of reach places. You then cause floor damage and harbor a mold contamination. If your water damage starts from sewage or kitchen overflow, you additionally risk fostering pathogens. Have an emergency professional investigate the situation to prevent additional costs down the road.

Water after Fire Damage

It’s terrible enough for a property to take on fire damage, but it’s even worse to be left with water damage in the days after the blaze. In the steps of killing an indoor fire, your property may be left with water damage. Such a one-two punch of home damage can leave your space ruined. Paul Davis has the training to eliminate any fire or water damage left.
