Causes of Flood Damage

Water damage takes many shapes and can hit even the most prepared business or home. Different water damage scenarios need different solutions. Regardless of the origin or size of water damage in your business, Paul Davis Emergency Services work quickly and professionally. These are a few of the most typical reasons for water damage:

Mother Nature

Long periods of rainfall can test any structure's foundation. If storms get intense, water becomes a strong force. Be it a flood, hurricane, or winter storm, when water hits your property, it's a serious issue. No one can be prepared for a problem like this, but when issues occur, you'll have our help.

Basement Flooding

Basements are magnets for runoff water, whether from precipitation, a leaky roof, a damaged water pump, or any other source. It only takes one break in the foundation for moisture to invade. Paul Davis specialists are highly trained to eliminate flooding from basements, sanitize and preserve your home goods, and dry everything effectively to minimize damage. We don't quit until we know that the work is finished.

Sewer Spills & Problems

Sewer flooding is not only gross, it's hazardous. Grey or black water contamination contains pathogens that can lead to infection. Flooding caused by sewer clogs should be considered a crisis and should be handled immediately. Trained Paul Davis emergency responders inspect and remove the damage from the sewage and any stagnant water damage may have occurred. Our technology and specialized training will solve the hazard with safety and speed.

Busted Plumbing & Appliance Leaks

If your faucet, tub, water heater or other appliance floods, the outcome can vary from annoying to devastating. Stagnant flooding on the floor can seep into the foundation, and pool in hard-to-reach places. You may cause floor damage and invite a mold contamination. If your water damage results from bathroom or dishwasher overflow, you additionally risk fostering pathogens. Call an emergency specialist investigate the situation to avoid larger costs down the road.

Water after Fire Damage

It's tragic enough for your property to sustain fire damage, but it's worse to be stuck with water damage in the days after the fire. In the process of killing a home fire, your property can be left soaked. Such a one-two punch of home damage can leave your area ruined. Paul Davis Emergency Services has the training to eliminate any fire or water damage remaining.
