Water damage takes many shapes and can strike even the most prepared business or homeowner. Assorted flood damage circumstances deserve different answers. Whatever the origin or scale of flood damage in your home or business, Paul Davis Emergency Services act quickly and effectively.

These are some of the most common causes of water damage:

Rain Damage

Severe weather will put any structure’s integrity on trial. If storms become serious, water becomes a destructive element. Whether it’s a flash flood, tornado, or winter storm, if water hits your home or business, it’s a grave matter. No one can be prepared for every scenario, but if something goes wrong, our help is available.

Flooding in the Basement

Cellars draw in lots of runoff water, be it from precipitation, roof damage, a damaged water pump, or some other source. It just takes a single ding in the foundation for water to invade. Paul Davis experts are highly trained to remove flooding from cellars, clean and restore your possessions, and dry everything effectively to minimize damage. Our team doesn’t rest until we verify that the work is done.

Sewage Spills & Malfunctions

Sewage back up is not just nasty, it’s a health concern. Black or grey water contamination contains toxins that can result in infection. Flooding caused by sewer blockages can be considered a crisis and be handled immediately. Qualified Paul Davis emergency responders evaluate and eliminate the damage from the source and any stagnant water damage may have occurred. Our equipment and years of education can eliminate the issues with safety and speed.

Appliance Leaks & Busted Pipes

If a sink, bathtub, washing machine or other appliance floods, the outcome can vary from bothersome to devastating. Stagnant flooding on the floor can seep into the foundation, collecting in out of reach areas. You then cause wood damage and invite a mold invasion. If your water damage comes from toilet or kitchen overflow, you additionally risk spreading pathogens. Have a specialist investigate the situation to prevent larger costs down the road.

Firefighting Runoff

It’s tragic enough for a home or business to sustain fire damage, but it’s worse to be stuck with water damage after the fire. In the process of extinguishing a home fire, your property can be left soaked. Such a one-two punch of severe damage can leave your area ruined. Paul Davis has the expertise to remove any fire or water damage left.
