Problems with Sewage Backups

Sewage flooding is not only nasty, it's hazardous. Grey or black water contamination spreads pathogens that can lead to serious illness. Backup resulting from sewer clogs should be designated as a crisis and should be handled right away. Trained Paul Davis emergency responders inspect and eliminate the damage from the source and any stagnant water damage may have happened.

Broken Plumbing & Appliance Leaks

If a sink, tub, washing machine or other appliance floods, the outcome can vary from irritating to hazardous. Standing water left on the floor can drain into tight spots, collecting in hard-to-reach areas. You then cause wood damage and invite a mold invasion. If your water damage comes from sewage or dishwasher overflow, you additionally risk fostering microbes. Have a professional inspect the area to avoid larger costs down the road.

Firefighting Runoff

It's bad enough for a property to take on fire damage, but it's even worse to be stuck with water damage in the days after the fire. In the process of killing a home fire, your property can be left with water damage. This surplus of severe damage can leave your space devastated.
