Causes of Water Damage

Water damage happens in many different ways and can hit even the most equipped business or home. Various water damage causes deserve special solutions. Whatever the origin or scale of water damage in your business, Paul Davis Emergency Services respond fast and efficiently. These are a few of the most common reasons for water damage:

Natural Causes

Long periods of rain will test any structure's foundation. If storms become dangerous, water becomes a destructive force. Whether it's a flood, tornado, or blizzard, if water harms your home or business, it's a grave issue. No one can be prepared for a problem like this, but if water damage strikes, you can rely on us.

Flooding in the Basement

Underground rooms draw in lots of runoff water, whether from rain, roof damage, a broken water pump, or some other source. It only takes a single ding in the basement for moisture to invade. Paul Davis experts are highly qualified to eliminate water from basements, clean and preserve your home goods, and dry everything effectively to minimize damage. Our team doesn't stop until we have confirmed that the task is complete.

Sewer Backups & Problems

Sewer back up is not only repellent, it's dangerous. Black or grey water pollution contains pathogens that can result in infection. Backup resulting from sewer clogs should be designated as a crisis and be remedied immediately. Certified Paul Davis technicians inspect and eliminate the damage from the sewage and any standing water damage may have happened. Our equipment and specialized education will fix the problem with safety and speed.

Damaged Pipes & Appliance Malfunctions

If your faucet, tub, washing machine or other appliance leaks, the outcome can vary from irritating to devastating. Stagnant water left on the floor can seep into tight spots, collecting in out of reach places. You may cause wood damage and invite a mold invasion. If your water damage starts from sewage or kitchen malfunction, you additionally risk fostering pathogens. Have an emergency specialist inspect the area to prevent further expenses down the road.

Firefighting Runoff

It's tragic enough for your home to sustain fire damage, but it's worse to be left with water damage after the blaze. In the process of extinguishing an indoor fire, your home or business can be left soaked. This one-two punch of home damage can leave your space ruined. Paul Davis has the expertise to eliminate any fire or water damage left.
