Causes of Water Damage

Water damage happens in many different ways and can harm even the most organized business or home. Assorted water damage scenarios need different answers. Regardless of the source or size of water damage in your home, Paul Davis Emergency Services respond quickly and efficiently.

These are a few of the most common reasons for water damage:

Severe Storms

Heavy rainfall can put any structure’s foundation to the test. When weather gets intense, water becomes a strong force. Whether it’s a flash flood, hurricane, or blizzard, when water harms your home or business, it becomes a grave problem. Nobody is ready for a problem like this, but when issues occur, you can rely on us.

Basement Flooding

Cellars are magnets for runoff water, be it from precipitation, roof damage, a damaged sump pump, or other sources. It only takes one break in the foundation for moisture to flow in. Paul Davis professionals are highly trained to eliminate flooding from basements, clean and restore your home goods, and dry everything quickly to lessen the damage. We don’t stop until we have confirmed that the job is done.

Sewer Leaks & Malfunctions

Sewer back up is not only repellent, it’s dangerous. Grey or black water contamination spreads pathogens that can lead to infection. Flooding caused by sewer clogs can be designated as an emergency and be dealt with right away. Qualified Paul Davis emergency responders inspect and eliminate the damage from the source and all stagnant water damage may have occurred. Our tools and years of education can fix the hazard with efficiency and quality.

Damaged Plumbing & Appliance Malfunctions

If your sink, bathtub, washing machine or any other appliance breaks, the outcome can vary from annoying to devastating. Standing flooding on the floor can drain into the foundation, collecting in out of reach areas. You then cause floor damage and invite a mold infestation. If your water damage results from bathroom or kitchen malfunction, you additionally risk spreading pathogens. Have a specialist investigate the area to prevent larger expenses later on.

Firefighting Runoff

It’s terrible enough for your property to sustain fire damage, but it’s even worse to be left with water damage after the fire. In the steps of killing a home fire, your property can be left soaked. This one-two punch of home damage can leave your area devastated. Paul Davis has the training to eliminate all fire or water damage left.
