Most Common Types Of Water Damage

Broken Water Pipes

Water pipes can break for a variety of reasons. Frozen pipes or old pipes can cause water damage when they leak or break. Regardless of why it happens, the damage can be substantial, especially if it is inside walls, in the ceiling, or under flooring.

Roof Damage and Blocked Gutters

Both roof damage and blocked gutters can produce water damage from above. While some damage is immediately noticed due to a sudden problem, like a tree falling through the roof, damage often builds up gradually over time from the wear and tear caused by animals, storms, wind, hail, sun, tree debris, moss, and other common culprits of roof damage. When the water damage is more gradual, it often occurs in places where it isn’t noticed right away, like attics, basements, and inside walls. Cleaning gutters regularly, keeping up on roof maintenance, and repairing storm-damaged roofs are the surest ways to prevent this type of damage.

Backed-Up Toilets and Drains

A lot of things end up going down our drains. A backed-up drain is an unfortunate occurrence that causes water, often contaminated, to rapidly overflow and spread, soaking everything in its path. The dirty water can also create a health hazard and should be treated as such. Odor remediation is often necessary.

Leaking Washing Machines

Washing machines take a tremendous amount of abuse during their regular operation, and the supply lines can come loose if the machine moves or shakes during washing. Replacing your rubber or PVC supply line with braided stainless steel is highly recommended to prevent this type of leak.

Regardless of the cause of water damage, mold poses a severe health hazard and is a concern with all water damage. Expert Restoration Partner members search all areas of the house to find and remove the mold to address the problem now and to prevent future regrowth.
