Water Damage Scenarios

Water damage takes many forms and can hit even the most prepared business or home. Various flood damage scenarios deserve appropriate solutions. Regardless of the origin or amount of flood damage in your home or business, Paul Davis Emergency Services respond quickly and efficiently.

These are a few of the most typical reasons for water damage:

Mother Nature

Long periods of rain will put any structure’s integrity on trial. When weather gets serious, water becomes a strong force. Whether it’s a flash flood, hurricane, or blizzard, if water hits your property, it’s a grave issue. Nobody is prepared for a problem like this, but if issues occur, you can rely on Paul Davis.

Flooding in the Basement

Basements are a target for runoff water, whether from precipitation, roof damage, a malfunctioning water pump, or other sources. It only takes a single ding in the basement for water to invade. Paul Davis professionals are highly qualified to remove water from basements, sanitize and preserve your possessions, and dry everything effectively to minimize damage. We don’t stop until we have confirmed that the task is complete.

Problems with Sewage Backups

Sewage flooding is not only gross, it’s hazardous. Black or grey water contamination contains microbes that may result in infection. Flooding caused by sewer blockages can be considered a crisis and should be handled right away. Certified Paul Davis emergency responders evaluate and remove the damage from the sewage and all standing water damage may have occurred. Our equipment and years of education can eliminate the issues with efficiency and quality.

Appliance Leaks & Damaged Pipes

If a faucet, bathtub, water heater or any other appliance breaks, the outcome can range from annoying to devastating. Stagnant water on the floor can drain into the foundation, and pool in hard-to-reach places. You then cause wood damage and harbor a mold infestation. If your water damage starts from toilet or kitchen overflow, you additionally risk harboring pathogens. Have an emergency specialist inspect the area to avoid more costs 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 process of killing an indoor fire, your home or business may be left with water damage. This one-two punch of home damage can leave your area ruined. Paul Davis has the skills to remove all fire or water damage remaining.
