Natural Causes

Severe storms will put any building’s integrity on trial. If storms get intense, water becomes a strong element. Whether it’s a flood, hurricane, or blizzard, when water hits your property, it’s a serious problem. No one can be prepared for every scenario, but when issues occur, our expertise is available.

Underground Flooding

Underground rooms draw in lots of runoff water, be it from precipitation, a leaky roof, a malfunctioning water pump, or some other source. It just takes a single crack in the cellar for water to flow in. Paul Davis professionals are highly trained to remove flooding from cellars, clean and restore your home goods, and dry everything quickly to lessen the damage. Our team doesn’t stop until we know that the job is complete.

Issues from Sewage Leaks

Sewage flooding is not just nasty, it’s dangerous. Black or grey water contamination spreads toxins that may result in infection. Flooding caused by sewer blockages should be considered a crisis and be handled immediately. Qualified Paul Davis emergency responders inspect and remove the damage from the source and all stagnant water damage may have happened. Our equipment and specialized training can solve the issues with safety and speed.

Busted Pipes & Appliance Leaks

If your faucet, bathtub, washing machine or any other appliance leaks, the outcome can range from bothersome to devastating. Stagnant flooding on the floor can drain into the foundation, collecting in out of reach places. You then cause floor damage and invite a mold invasion. If your water damage starts from sewage or kitchen overflow, you additionally risk harboring illnesses. Have an emergency specialist inspect the area to avoid further expenses later on.

Water after Fire Damage

It’s terrible enough for your home to take on fire damage, but it’s even worse to be stuck with water damage after the fire. In the process of extinguishing a home fire, your property may be left with water damage. This one-two punch of severe damage can leave your space devastated. Paul Davis Emergency Services has the expertise to remove all fire or water damage remaining.
