Emergency Water Removal
When water damage happens, it’s often an unexpected and unwelcome event. Whether it’s in your home or business, the sudden presence of water can be alarming. However, with the right process and team to help you out, you can overcome these events fairly quickly and for not nearly as high a cost as anticipated.
Water Damage Causes
Water Damage can come from a variety of sources
Plumbing Leaks
Frozen Pipes, Appliances, Cracks
One of the most common types of water damage results from plumbing issues. Several factors can lead to a sudden water emergency, such as the type of material your pipes are made of, the age of the pipes, and the water pressure entering the house.
It's also important to consider external weather. Pipes often crack or burst in winter due to the drop in temperature causing the water inside to freeze.
Natural Disasters
Hurricanes, Storms, Floods
Living in South Carolina, we can always count on summer thunderstorms and the ever-present threat of hurricanes once hurricane season starts. The sudden influx of water from rainstorms, paired with heavy winds, can often lead to water damage inside the house.
Roof Leaks
Fallen Trees, Hail, Heavy Winds
Depending on the age of your roof and the weather in the area, you can easily experience water damage from a roof leak. These typically present as a wet spot on the ceiling that will grow if not handled immediately due to the collection of water in that space.
Basement Floods
Heavy Rains, High Water Table
Though basements are less common in the South, they do exist. If we experience prolonged heavy rain, the external water can cause the water table to rise, leading to water intrusion or flooding in basements.
