Causes of Water Damage

Water damage takes many shapes and can strike even the most prepared business or homeowner. Assorted flood damage circumstances need appropriate treatments. Regardless of the source or amount of flood damage in your business, Paul Davis Emergency Services respond quickly and efficiently.

These are some of the most typical causes of water damage:

Storm Damage

Long periods of rainfall can put any building’s foundation to the test. If weather becomes intense, water becomes a destructive element. Be it a flood, hurricane, or winter storm, when water harms your home or business, it becomes a serious issue. No one can be prepared for a problem like this, but when something goes wrong, you’ll have our expertise.

Flooding in the Basement

Basements attract lots of runoff water, whether from rain, roof damage, a damaged sump pump, or some other source. It only takes a single crack in the foundation for water to flow in. Paul Davis professionals are highly qualified to eliminate flooding from basements, sanitize and restore your possessions, and dry everything fast to minimize damage. Our team doesn’t stop until we have confirmed that the task is finished.

Issues with Sewage Leaks

Sewage backup is not only disgusting, it’s hazardous. Black or grey water pollution contains toxins that may lead to infection. Backup resulting from sewer clogs should be considered an emergency and be remedied immediately. Qualified Paul Davis technicians inspect and remove the damage from the backup and any stagnant water damage may have happened. Our equipment and years of training will fix the problem with safety and speed.

Busted Plumbing & Appliance Malfunctions

If your sink, tub, water heater or other appliance floods, the outcome can range from irritating to hazardous. Stagnant flooding left on the floor can seep into tight spots, collecting in out-of-reach places. You then cause wood damage and harbor mold invasion. If your water damage comes from bathroom or kitchen overflow, you additionally risk fostering pathogens. Have an emergency professional inspect the situation to prevent more expenses later on.

Firefighting Runoff

It’s terrible enough for your home or business to sustain fire damage, but it’s even worse to be stuck with water damage after the blaze. In the steps of extinguishing an indoor fire, your home or business may be left with water damage. Such a one-two punch of home damage can leave your space devastated. Paul Davis Emergency Services has the training to eliminate any fire or water damage left.
