Severe Storms

Cellar Flooding

Basements are magnets for runoff water, be it from rain, a leaky roof, a damaged water pump, or other sources. It just takes one crack in the basement for moisture to flow in. Paul Davis experts are highly qualified to eliminate flooding from basements, clean and restore your possessions, and dry everything effectively to lessen the damage. We don't stop until we have confirmed that the work is finished.

Sewer Backups & Problems

Sewer flooding is not just gross, it's dangerous. Black or grey water pollution contains toxins that may result in infection. Backup caused by sewer clogs should be designated as an emergency and should be dealt with immediately. Trained Paul Davis technicians inspect and eliminate the damage from the source and any stagnant water damage may have happened. Our tools and years of training will solve the hazard with efficiency and speed.

Appliance Leaks & Damaged Plumbing

If your sink, bathtub, washing machine or any other appliance leaks, the outcome can vary from bothersome to hazardous. Stagnant flooding on the floor can drain into tight spots, and pool in hard-to-reach areas. You then cause wood damage and harbor a mold contamination. If your water damage starts from bathroom or dishwasher malfunction, you additionally risk fostering pathogens. Have an emergency professional investigate the situation to prevent additional costs later on.

Firefighting Runoff

It's bad enough for your property to sustain fire damage, but it's worse to be left with water damage in the days after the blaze. In the steps of killing an indoor fire, your property may be left with water damage. Such a surplus of severe damage can leave your space ruined. Paul Davis Emergency Services has the training to eliminate any fire or water damage left.
