Causes of Water Damage

Water damage takes many forms and can strike even the most organized business or homeowner. Assorted water damage scenarios deserve different answers. Regardless of the origin or scale of water damage in your home or business, Paul Davis Emergency Services respond quickly and professionally. These are some of the most typical causes of water damage:

Severe Storms

Heavy rain can test any building's foundation. If weather becomes intense, water becomes a strong element. Whether it's a flash flood, tornado, or winter storm, if water harms your property, it becomes a grave matter. Nobody is ready for a problem like this, but if something goes wrong, our help is available.

Flooding in the Basement

Basements attract lots of runoff water, whether from precipitation, roof damage, a malfunctioning sump pump, or any other source. It just takes a single break in the foundation for moisture to invade. Paul Davis specialists are highly trained to remove water from basements, sanitize and restore your home goods, and dry everything fast to minimize damage. Our team doesn't stop until we have confirmed that the task is done.

Sewer Leaks & Problems

Sewer flooding is not just disgusting, it's dangerous. Grey or black water contamination contains toxins that can lead to infection. Backup from sewer blockages should be considered a crisis and be handled right away. Trained Paul Davis technicians comb through and eliminate the damage from the backup and all stagnant water damage may have happened. Our technology and years of education will solve the problem with efficiency and quality.

Broken Plumbing & Appliance Malfunctions

If your sink, tub, water heater or any other appliance leaks, the outcome can vary from annoying to hazardous. Standing water left on the floor can seep into the foundation, and pool in out of reach areas. You then cause floor damage and harbor a mold contamination. If your water damage starts from toilet or kitchen malfunction, you additionally risk harboring microbes. Have an emergency specialist investigate the situation to prevent more costs later on.

Firefighting Runoff

It's tragic enough for your property to sustain fire damage, but it's worse to be left with water damage in the days after the blaze. In the steps of killing an indoor fire, your home or business can be left with water damage. Such a one-two punch of home damage can leave your area devastated. Paul Davis Emergency Services has the skills to remove all fire or water damage remaining.
