Natural Causes

Bad storms will put any building's foundation to the test. When weather gets serious, water becomes a strong force.

No one can be ready for every scenario, but if water damage strikes, our help is available.

Flooding in the Basement

Basements are a target for runoff water, whether from precipitation, a leaky roof, a broken sump pump, or other sources. It only takes one break in the foundation for moisture to flow in.

We don't quit until we have confirmed that the task is done.

Sewage Spills & Problems

Sewage flooding is not only nasty, it's hazardous. Grey or black water contamination contains toxins that may lead to infection. Backup caused by sewer blockages can be considered a crisis and should be remedied immediately. Qualified Paul Davis technicians comb through and remove the damage from the source and all stagnant water damage may have happened. Our equipment and years of training can fix the issues with safety and quality.

Busted Pipes & Appliance Malfunctions

If a sink, tub, washing machine or other appliance breaks, the outcome can range from bothersome to devastating. Stagnant flooding on the floor can drain into tight spots, and pool in out of reach places. You then cause floor damage and harbor a mold infestation. If your water damage comes from sewage or dishwasher overflow, you additionally risk spreading microbes. Have an emergency professional inspect the situation to avoid further costs later on.

Water after Fire Damage

It's terrible enough for a home or business to take on fire damage, but it's even worse to be stuck with water damage in the days after the blaze. In the steps of extinguishing an indoor fire, your property may be left soaked. This surplus of severe damage can leave your space devastated. Paul Davis has the skills to eliminate all fire or water damage remaining.
