Causes of Flood Damage

Water damage takes many shapes and can hit even the most prepared business or home. Different water damage circumstances require different solutions. Whatever the cause or size of water damage in your business, Paul Davis Emergency Services work quickly and professionally.

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

Bad Weather

Heavy rainfall will test any building’s foundation. If storms become intense, water becomes a powerful element. Whether it’s a flash flood, hurricane, or blizzard, when water hits your home or business, it becomes a grave issue. Nobody is prepared for a problem like this, but when water damage strikes, our expertise is available.

Flooding in the Basement

Cellars attract lots of runoff water, whether from precipitation, roof damage, a malfunctioning sump pump, or some other source. It just takes a single break in the cellar for water to invade. Paul Davis specialists are highly qualified to eliminate flooding from cellars, clean and restore your possessions, and dry everything effectively to lessen the damage. We don’t quit until we have confirmed that the work is finished.

Problems with Sewer Leaks

Sewer flooding is not just repellent, it’s dangerous. Black or grey water pollution contains pathogens that may lead to serious illness. Flooding resulting from sewer blockages should be considered a crisis and be dealt with right away. Certified Paul Davis technicians inspect and eliminate the damage from the sewage and any standing water damage may have occurred. Our equipment and years of education can eliminate the issues with safety and speed.

Damaged Pipes & Appliance Malfunctions

If a faucet, tub, water heater or other appliance floods, the outcome can vary from bothersome to devastating. Stagnant flooding left on the floor can drain into tight spots, collecting in hard-to-reach places. You then cause wood damage and invite a mold infestation. If your water damage results from sewage or dishwasher malfunction, you additionally risk fostering pathogens. Call an emergency professional investigate the area to prevent further costs later on.

Firefighting Runoff

It’s terrible enough for a home or business to sustain fire damage, but it’s even worse to be left with water damage in the days after the blaze. In the process of killing an indoor fire, your property may be left with water damage. This one-two punch of severe damage can leave your area ruined. Paul Davis Emergency Services has the skills to eliminate any fire or water damage left.
