Storm Damage

Severe weather can put any structure's integrity on trial. When weather becomes intense, water becomes a powerful element. Be it a flood, hurricane, or blizzard, if water harms your property, it becomes a serious matter. No one can be prepared for a problem like this, but if issues occur, you'll have our help.

Flooding in the Basement

Underground rooms draw in lots of runoff water, whether from precipitation, a leaky roof, a broken water pump, or some other source. It just takes a single crack in the basement for moisture to invade. Paul Davis professionals are highly trained to remove flooding from basements, sanitize and restore your possessions, and dry everything effectively to minimize damage. We don't stop until we know that the work is finished.

Sewage Leaks & Malfunctions

Sewage flooding is not just gross, it's dangerous. Grey or black water contamination contains toxins that may result in serious illness. Flooding caused by sewer clogs should be designated as an emergency and should be handled right away. Trained Paul Davis technicians comb through and remove the damage from the sewage and any standing water damage may have occurred. Our technology and years of education can solve the issues with safety and speed.

Appliance Leaks & Busted Pipes

If your faucet, tub, water heater or any other appliance floods, the outcome can range from bothersome to hazardous. Stagnant flooding left on the floor can seep into tight spots, collecting in out of reach places. You then cause floor damage and invite a mold invasion. If your water damage comes from sewage or kitchen overflow, you additionally risk fostering illnesses. Have an emergency professional inspect the situation to prevent more costs down the road.

Firefighting Runoff

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 process of extinguishing a home fire, your property may be left with water damage. Such a surplus of severe damage can leave your space ruined. Paul Davis Emergency Services has the training to remove any fire or water damage left.
