Causes of Water Damage

Water damage happens in many various ways and can strike even the most equipped business or home. Various flood damage scenarios require special treatments. Whatever the cause or scale of flood damage in your home, Paul Davis Emergency Services respond fast and professionally. These are a few of the most common reasons for water damage:

Natural Causes

Serious weather can test any structure's foundation. If weather becomes dangerous, water becomes a powerful element. Whether it's a flood, tornado, or winter storm, when water harms your property, it's a serious problem. No one can be ready for a problem like this, but when something goes wrong, you can rely on Paul Davis.

Flooding in the Basement

Basements are magnets for runoff water, be it from precipitation, a leaky roof, a malfunctioning sump pump, or other sources. It just takes a single break in the basement for water to flow in. Paul Davis professionals are highly trained to eliminate water from cellars, clean and preserve your possessions, and dry everything quickly to minimize damage. We don't stop until we know that the work is complete.

Sewage Leaks & Problems

Sewage back up is not just repellent, it's a health concern. Grey or black water pollution spreads toxins that can result in serious illness. Backup from sewer blockages can be designated as an emergency and should be handled immediately. Trained Paul Davis technicians comb through and remove the damage from the sewage and any stagnant water damage may have happened. Our technology and years of training can eliminate the hazard with efficiency and speed.

Appliance Malfunctions & Damaged Pipes

If a sink, tub, water heater or other appliance breaks, the outcome can vary from bothersome to hazardous. Standing water on the floor can seep into tight spots, and pool in hard-to-reach places. You then cause floor damage and harbor a mold contamination. If your water damage starts from bathroom or dishwasher malfunction, you additionally risk fostering microbes. Have an emergency specialist inspect the area to avoid larger costs down the road.

Water after Fire Damage

It's tragic 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 steps of killing an indoor fire, your home or business can be left with water damage. This one-two punch of home damage can leave your area ruined. Paul Davis has the skills to eliminate any fire or water damage left.
