Appliance Leaks & Busted Plumbing

If your faucet, tub, washing machine or other appliance breaks, the outcome can range from annoying to devastating. Stagnant water left on the floor can drain into the foundation, collecting in hard-to-reach places. You then cause floor damage and invite mold contamination. If your water damage comes from sewage or kitchen overflow, you additionally risk fostering pathogens. Have a professional inspect the situation to prevent more expenses later on.

It’s bad enough for your home to sustain fire damage, but it’s worse to be stuck with water damage in the days after the fire. In the process of killing a home fire, your property may be left with water damage. Such a one-two punch of severe damage can leave your area devastated.
