Flood Damage Scenarios

Water damage happens in several different ways and can harm even the most organized business or homeowner. Different flood damage causes need special treatments. Whatever the cause or amount of flood damage in your home or business, Paul Davis Emergency Services work quickly and efficiently. These are some of the most typical causes of water damage:

Weather Damage

Long periods of rain will put any building's foundation to the test. When weather gets intense, water becomes a destructive element. Whether it's a flash flood, hurricane, or winter storm, when water harms your property, it becomes a serious problem. No one can be prepared for every scenario, but when something goes wrong, our help is available.

Underground Flooding

Underground rooms attract lots of runoff water, whether from precipitation, roof damage, a damaged sump pump, or some other source. It just takes a single crack in the foundation for water to invade. Paul Davis professionals are highly trained to remove flooding from cellars, clean and preserve your home goods, and dry everything fast to minimize damage. We don't stop until we verify that the task is complete.

Sewer Backups & Problems

Sewer flooding is not just nasty, it's hazardous. Grey or black water contamination spreads pathogens that can lead to infection. Flooding caused by sewer clogs should be designated as a crisis and should be remedied immediately. Certified Paul Davis emergency responders evaluate and eliminate the damage from the sewage and any standing water damage may have occurred. Our tools and years of training will solve the issues with safety and quality.

Broken Pipes & Appliance Malfunctions

If a faucet, bathtub, water heater or other appliance breaks, the outcome can vary from annoying to devastating. Stagnant flooding left on the floor can drain into tight spots, and pool in hard-to-reach places. You then cause wood damage and harbor a mold contamination. If your water damage starts from bathroom or kitchen overflow, you additionally risk harboring pathogens. Have a professional inspect the situation to avoid additional expenses later on.

Firefighting Runoff

It's bad enough for a property to sustain fire damage, but it's even worse to be stuck with water damage in the days after the fire. In the steps of extinguishing an indoor fire, your property can be left with water damage. Such a surplus of severe damage can leave your space ruined. Paul Davis has the skills to remove any fire or water damage remaining.
