Causes Of Flood Damage

Water damage takes many forms and can strike even the most prepared business or home. Various water damage scenarios require appropriate solutions. Whatever the origin or scale of water damage in your business, Paul Davis Emergency Services respond quickly and professionally.

These are a few of the most common causes of water damage:

Severe Storms

Serious weather can put any building’s integrity on trial. When weather becomes dangerous, water becomes a destructive force. Be it a flood, hurricane, or blizzard, if water harms your property, it becomes a serious problem. Nobody is prepared for a problem like this, but if something goes wrong, our expertise is available.

Flooding In The Basement

Basements are magnets for runoff water, whether from rain, a leaky roof, a damaged sump pump, or other sources. It only takes one crack in the cellar for moisture to invade. Paul Davis professionals are highly qualified to remove water from cellars, sanitize and restore your home goods, and dry everything effectively to minimize damage. Our team doesn’t stop until we know that the job is finished.

Problems From Sewage Spills

Sewage back up is not only nasty, it’s hazardous. Black or grey water contamination carries microbes that may lead to serious illness. Flooding caused by sewer blockages can be considered a crisis and be handled immediately. Certified Paul Davis technicians evaluate and eliminate the damage from the backup and any stagnant water damage may have occurred. Our tools and specialized education can eliminate the issues with safety and speed.

Damaged Pipes & Appliance Malfunctions

If your sink, tub, water heater or other appliance breaks, the outcome can vary from annoying to devastating. Standing water on the floor can seep 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 bathroom or dishwasher overflow, you additionally risk spreading pathogens. Have an emergency professional inspect the situation to avoid larger costs later on.

Firefighting Runoff

It’s tragic enough for your property to sustain fire damage, but it’s even worse to be left with water damage after the fire. In the steps of extinguishing an indoor fire, your home or business may be left soaked. This one-two punch of home damage can leave your space devastated. Paul Davis Emergency Services has the expertise to remove any fire or water damage left.
