Causes of Flood Damage

Water damage occurs in many different ways and can harm even the most prepared business or homeowner. Different water damage scenarios need appropriate treatments. Whatever the cause or amount of water damage in your business, Paul Davis Emergency Services respond fast and efficiently. These are a few of the most common reasons for water damage:

Rain Damage

Heavy rainfall can test any building's foundation. When storms become serious, water becomes a strong force. Whether it's a flash flood, tornado, or blizzard, when water hits your property, it becomes a serious matter. Nobody is prepared for a problem like this, but when issues occur, you'll have our expertise.

Flooding in the Basement

Underground rooms are a target for runoff water, whether from precipitation, a leaky roof, a damaged water pump, or some other source. It just takes one break in the basement for moisture to flow in. Paul Davis professionals are highly qualified to remove flooding from cellars, clean and restore your possessions, and dry everything fast to minimize damage. We don't stop until we verify that the work is finished.

Sewer Backups & Malfunctions

Sewer back up is not just gross, it's hazardous. Grey or black water contamination contains pathogens that can lead to serious illness. Backup resulting from sewer blockages should be designated as a crisis and be remedied right away. Qualified Paul Davis emergency responders inspect and eliminate the damage from the source and all standing water damage may have happened. Our tools and years of training will eliminate the problem with efficiency and quality.

Appliance Leaks & Broken Pipes

If a sink, tub, washing machine or other appliance breaks, the outcome can range from irritating to hazardous. Standing flooding left on the floor can seep into the foundation, collecting in hard-to-reach places. You may cause floor damage and harbor a mold contamination. If your water damage comes from bathroom or dishwasher malfunction, you additionally risk spreading microbes. Have an emergency professional investigate the situation to prevent additional expenses later on.

Water after Fire Damage

It's bad enough for a property to take on fire damage, but it's worse to be stuck with water damage in the days after the blaze. In the process of killing an indoor fire, your property can be left with water damage. This one-two punch of severe damage can leave your space ruined. Paul Davis has the training to remove all fire or water damage remaining.
