Causes of Flood Damage

Water damage takes many forms and can hit even the most prepared business or homeowner. Assorted water damage causes need different answers. Whatever the origin or scale of water damage in your business, Paul Davis Emergency Services work fast and effectively.

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

Mother Nature

Long periods of rain will put any building’s foundation on trial. If storms get dangerous, water becomes a destructive element. Whether it’s a flash flood, hurricane, or winter storm, when water hits your property, it’s a grave matter. Nobody is ready for every scenario, but when something goes wrong, you’ll have our help.

Subterranean Flooding

Cellars are magnets for runoff water, be it from precipitation, roof damage, a broken water pump, or other sources. It just takes a single ding in the basement for water to flow in. Paul Davis professionals are highly trained to remove water from cellars, sanitize and restore your possessions, and dry everything fast to lessen the damage. We don’t rest until we verify that the job is finished.

Sewage Spills & Malfunctions

Sewage backup is not just gross, it’s dangerous. Grey or black water pollution spreads microbes that can result in infection. Flooding resulting from sewer clogs should be designated as a crisis and should be handled right away. Certified Paul Davis emergency responders comb through and eliminate the damage from the sewage and any stagnant water damage may have happened. Our tools and years of education will eliminate the issues with safety and quality.

Broken Plumbing & Appliance Leaks

If your faucet, tub, washing machine or other appliance leaks, the outcome can vary from annoying to devastating. Stagnant water on the floor can seep into the foundation, collecting in hard-to-reach places. You then cause wood damage and invite mold infestation. If your water damage comes from sewage or dishwasher overflow, you additionally risk harboring illnesses. Have an emergency professional investigate the area to prevent more expenses later on.

Water after Fire Damage

It’s tragic enough for your property to sustain fire damage, but it’s even worse to be left with water damage after the blaze. In the process of killing an indoor fire, your property can be left soaked. This one-two punch of home damage can leave your area devastated. Paul Davis Emergency Services has the skills to remove any fire or water damage left.
