Causes of Water Damage

Water damage happens in several different ways and can hit even the most equipped business or homeowner. Various flood damage scenarios need appropriate solutions. Whatever the origin or size of flood damage in your home or business, Paul Davis Emergency Services work quickly and efficiently. These are some of the most common causes of water damage:

Weather Damage

Serious weather will put any building's foundation to the test. When weather becomes intense, water becomes a destructive element. Whether it's a flash flood, tornado, or blizzard, if water harms your property, it becomes a grave problem. No one can be prepared for every scenario, but if something goes wrong, you can depend on us.

Basement Flooding

Underground rooms are a target for runoff water, be it from precipitation, a leaky roof, a damaged sump pump, or some other source. It only takes a single break in the foundation for water to invade. Paul Davis professionals are highly qualified to remove water from cellars, clean and preserve your home goods, and dry everything quickly to minimize damage. We don't quit until we verify that the task is complete.

Sewer Spills & Problems

Sewer flooding is not only nasty, it's hazardous. Black or grey water pollution contains toxins that may lead to infection. Backup caused by sewer blockages can be considered a crisis and should be handled immediately. Certified Paul Davis emergency responders comb through and eliminate the damage from the backup and all stagnant water damage may have occurred. Our equipment and years of training can fix the hazard with efficiency and speed.

Busted Pipes & Appliance Leaks

If your faucet, tub, water heater or other appliance leaks, the outcome can vary from bothersome to devastating. Stagnant water left on the floor can drain into the foundation, collecting in hard-to-reach places. You then cause wood damage and invite a mold infestation. If your water damage results from toilet or dishwasher malfunction, you additionally risk fostering microbes. Have a professional inspect the area to avoid further costs down the road.

Water after Fire Damage

It's bad enough for your property to sustain fire damage, but it's worse to be stuck with water damage after the fire. In the steps of extinguishing an indoor fire, your property may be left with water damage. Such a one-two punch of severe damage can leave your space devastated. Paul Davis Emergency Services has the skills to remove all fire or water damage remaining.
