Mother Nature

Severe storms can put any structure’s integrity to the test. If weather gets intense, water becomes a strong force. Be it a flood, hurricane, or winter storm, if water hits your home or business, it’s a serious issue. Nobody is ready for a problem like this, but if issues occur, you can depend on us.

Flooding in the Basement

Underground rooms are a target for runoff water, be it from rain, roof damage, a damaged sump pump, or any other source. It just takes a single break in the foundation for water to invade. Paul Davis professionals are highly qualified to remove water from cellars, sanitize and restore your home goods, and dry everything quickly to lessen the damage. Our team doesn’t stop until we verify that the task is complete.

Sewer Leaks & Malfunctions

Sewer flooding is not just disgusting, it’s dangerous. Grey or black water pollution carries toxins that can result in serious illness. Flooding caused by sewer blockages can be designated as an emergency and should be handled right away. Qualified Paul Davis technicians inspect and remove the damage from the source and any stagnant water damage may have occurred. Our equipment and specialized education can eliminate the hazard with efficiency and speed.

Broken Pipes & Appliance Leaks

If a faucet, tub, water heater or any other appliance floods, the outcome can vary from annoying to hazardous. Standing water on the floor can seep into tight spots, and pool in out-of-reach places. You then cause floor damage and harbor mold infestation. If your water damage comes from toilet or dishwasher overflow, you additionally risk fostering illnesses. Have an emergency professional investigate the situation to avoid additional costs later on.

Water after Fire Damage

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