Sewage Backups & Problems

Sewage back up is not just disgusting, it's hazardous. Black or grey water pollution contains microbes that can result in infection.

Appliance Malfunctions & Broken Pipes

If a sink, tub, water heater or other appliance breaks, the outcome can vary from irritating to hazardous. Standing water left on the floor can seep into the foundation, collecting in hard-to-reach areas. You may cause wood damage and invite a mold contamination. If your water damage comes from sewage or dishwasher overflow, you additionally risk fostering illnesses. Have a professional investigate the situation to avoid more expenses down the road.

Firefighting Runoff

It's tragic enough for a home or business to sustain fire damage, but it's even worse to be stuck with water damage after the blaze. In the steps of killing an indoor fire, your home or business can be left with water damage. Such a surplus of severe damage can leave your space ruined.
