Natural Causes

Bad storms can test any building’s foundation. When weather gets dangerous, water becomes a destructive element. Be it a flood, tornado, or winter storm, if water hits your home or business, it’s a grave matter. Nobody is prepared for every scenario, but if issues occur, our expertise is available.

Flooding in the Basement

Cellars are magnets for runoff water, whether from precipitation, roof damage, a damaged sump pump, or any other source. It only takes a single crack in the foundation for water to flow in. Paul Davis experts are highly trained to remove flooding from cellars, clean and preserve your possessions, and dry everything quickly to lessen the damage. We don’t quit until we verify that the work is complete.

Problems with Sewer Leaks

Sewer flooding is not only nasty, it’s hazardous. Black or grey water pollution spreads toxins that may result in serious illness. Flooding caused by sewer clogs should be designated as a crisis and should be remedied immediately. Trained Paul Davis technicians evaluate and eliminate the damage from the backup and any standing water damage may have happened. Our equipment and years of training will eliminate the problem with safety and speed.

Damaged Pipes & Appliance Leaks

If your faucet, tub, washing machine or other appliance leaks, the outcome can range from annoying to hazardous. Stagnant flooding left on the floor can drain into the foundation, and pool in hard-to-reach places. You may cause floor damage and invite a mold invasion. If your water damage comes from toilet or kitchen overflow, you additionally risk fostering microbes. Have an emergency specialist investigate the situation to prevent further costs later on.

Firefighting Runoff

It’s bad enough for your property to sustain fire damage, but it’s even worse to be left with water damage in the days after the fire. In the process of killing a home fire, your home or business may be left with water damage. Such a surplus of severe damage can leave your area devastated. Paul Davis has the training to remove any fire or water damage remaining.
