Storm Damage

Heavy rain can test any structure’s integrity. When weather gets serious, water becomes a strong force. Whether it’s a flash flood, hurricane, or blizzard, if water hits your home or business, it’s a serious issue. Nobody is prepared for every scenario, but if water damage strikes, our expertise is available.

Flooding in the Basement

Underground rooms are a target for runoff water, be it from precipitation, a leaky roof, a damaged sump pump, or other sources. It only takes a single ding in the foundation for water to invade. Paul Davis specialists are highly qualified to remove flooding from cellars, sanitize and restore your possessions, and dry everything effectively to minimize damage. Our team doesn’t quit until we verify that the work is finished.

Sewage Backups & Malfunctions

Sewage backup is not only nasty, it’s a health concern. Grey or black water contamination contains microbes that can result in serious illness. Flooding caused by sewer blockages can be designated as an emergency and be handled immediately. Trained Paul Davis emergency responders evaluate and remove the damage from the sewage and any standing water damage may have occurred. Our technology and specialized education will solve the problem with safety and speed.

Broken Plumbing & Appliance Malfunctions

If a sink, tub, water heater or other appliance floods, the outcome can vary from bothersome to devastating. Stagnant flooding left on the floor can seep into tight spots, collecting in hard-to-reach areas. You may cause wood damage and harbor mold infestation. If your water damage starts from sewage or dishwasher overflow, you additionally risk harboring microbes. Have a specialist inspect the situation to prevent additional costs down the road.

Water after Fire Damage

It’s bad enough for a property to take on fire damage, but it’s worse to be left with water damage after the fire. In the steps of killing a home fire, your home or business can be left with water damage. This one-two punch of severe damage can leave your area ruined. Paul Davis has the training to remove any fire or water damage remaining.
