Sewage Backups & Malfunctions

Damaged Plumbing & Appliance Malfunctions

If a sink, bathtub, water heater or any other appliance leaks, the outcome can range from annoying to hazardous. Stagnant flooding on the floor can drain into tight spots, collecting in out-of-reach areas. You may cause wood damage and harbor mold invasion. If your water damage comes from sewage or kitchen malfunction, you additionally risk harboring illnesses. Have a professional investigate the area to avoid more costs later on.

Firefighting Runoff
