Causes of Flood Damage

Water damage takes many shapes and can harm even the most organized business or home. Various flood damage scenarios require different answers. Whatever the origin or amount of flood damage in your home or business, Paul Davis Emergency Services work fast and effectively. These are a few of the most typical reasons for water damage:

Weather Damage

Heavy rainfall can put any structure's integrity to the test. If storms get dangerous, water becomes a strong element. Whether it's a flash flood, hurricane, or blizzard, when water hits your property, it becomes a serious matter. No one can be prepared for every scenario, but when issues occur, you can depend on us.

Basement Flooding

Cellars are a target for runoff water, be it from rain, roof damage, a broken sump pump, or other sources. It just takes one ding in the cellar for water to invade. Paul Davis experts are highly trained to remove flooding from basements, sanitize and preserve your possessions, and dry everything effectively to lessen the damage. Our team doesn't stop until we know that the task is finished.

Sewer Spills & Problems

Sewer back up is not just disgusting, it's hazardous. Grey or black water contamination contains microbes that can result in serious illness. Flooding caused by sewer clogs can be designated as an emergency and be remedied immediately. Trained Paul Davis technicians inspect and remove the damage from the sewage and any stagnant water damage may have occurred. Our tools and specialized training can fix the hazard with safety and speed.

Broken Pipes & Appliance Malfunctions

If a sink, bathtub, water heater or any other appliance leaks, the outcome can vary from annoying to devastating. Stagnant flooding left on the floor can seep into the foundation, collecting in hard-to-reach areas. You may cause floor damage and invite a mold contamination. If your water damage comes from sewage or kitchen overflow, you additionally risk harboring pathogens. Call an emergency specialist inspect the area to prevent more costs later on.

Firefighting Runoff

It's tragic enough for a property to sustain fire damage, but it's even worse to be left with water damage in the days after the blaze. In the steps of killing an indoor fire, your home or business can be left soaked. This surplus of severe damage can leave your area devastated. Paul Davis Emergency Services has the skills to remove any fire or water damage remaining.
