How can you determine if property has hidden water damage?

You can check the walls and ceilings for water stains, the floors for warping and buckling, and the pipes for corrosion, leaks, missing grout, and mold. Attics and basements may have damaged flooring, mildew or mold, dampness, and odors. Also, be sure to inspect the exterior of the home for cracked roof tiles, puddles, standing water, and whether the ground is sloping away from the house.

What should I do after a flood or water leak in my home or business?

First, if safe, shut off the utilities in your home to avoid further damage. Don’t enter your home if it has suffered structural damage. Don’t walk through floodwater if electricity hasn’t been turned off, and avoid contaminants. Next, contact a water-damage restoration company, such as PuroClean of The Woodlands, as soon as possible. Don’t wait, as water can cause mold and irremediable damage to the wood, walls, and carpet. Then, depending on the extent of the damage and the recommendation of the remediation company, contact your insurance provider to start the claim process.

Can a flooded home or business be salvaged?

There are many variables that determine whether a flooded property can be saved: the amount of water, and even more important, the amount of time the water was in/around the property. Every situation is different, and PuroClean of The Woodlands expert restoration professionals can determine what can be salved once one site.

What are the dangers of water damage to homes and businesses?

Property water damage can pose several dangers including structural instability, electrical hazards, mold and mildew growth leading to health issues, contamination from sewage or chemicals, and potential collapse of weakened structures.

What are the effects when water floods my home or business?

Water flooding can cause extensive damage including structural damage to walls, floors, and foundations, damage to personal belongings, electrical hazards, and potential health risks from mold and bacteria growth. The longer water sits, the more severe the damage becomes.

Most Common Reasons for Water Damage in The Woodlands

Storm Damage and Flash Floods

Water damage may strike your property due to natural catastrophes such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and other phenomena. With storm surges and heavy rainfall common near Lake Woodlands and Spring Creek, flooding can occur rapidly. Roof breaches, landscape runoff, and drainage backups require fast, professional response. Read our guide for what to do when flash floods strike.

Pipes and Supply Line Leaks

The pipes on your property carry water throughout, so a leak or puncture can lead to significant damage. Older plumbing in mid-century homes in Grogan’s Mill and sudden failures in newer homes can both lead to major leaks. Many leaks go unnoticed until drywall and flooring are already damaged. Learn how to detect if there is a leak leading to water damage within your walls.

Overflowing Appliances and Fixtures

You would be surprised to know that at times, people living in multiple-story units forget to turn the water off as they are preparing a bath, and it overflows; other times, washing machines fail, overflowing. Overflowing bathtubs, washing machines, or dishwashers, especially in multi-level homes and condos, often damage floors and ceilings. We provide fast extraction and drying to prevent long-term damage. Head over to our blog to find out what actions to take if your washing machine overflows.

Firefighting Efforts

Many people wouldn’t think of it, but a common side-effect of fire is dealing with heavy water damage. First Responders and emergency sprinkler systems douse the entirety of the property with considerable amounts of water in an effort to stop the fire. We have also seen many events where people are looking for a place to hang their clothes, use the pipes for the sprinkler system, which triggers the sprinklers, flooding many floors at times. Read our list of facts about home sprinkler systems. When sprinkler systems or fire hoses extinguish a blaze, they often leave behind water damage that rivals the fire itself. We restore after both fire and water events.

Blocked Drains and Sump Pumps

Tree roots, grease, and debris clog drains and lead to backups. Homes with finished basements or crawl spaces in Shenandoah or Oak Ridge North are especially vulnerable. When clogged drains are not addressed promptly, they may easily back up and cause flooding and damage to your home’s interior. An inefficient, obstructed, damaged, or failing sump pump will leave your basement dealing with large quantities of water that cannot be drained. Being unable to evacuate the water can lead to costly flood damage. Here are some tips to help maintain your sump pump.

Roof Leaks

The physical integrity of your roof is vital to maintaining conditions on the inside of your home. Roof leaks from wear and tear or storm damage allow water to seep into attic spaces. This is common in areas near wooded lots or heavily treed neighborhoods. If the water damage is not addressed within 24-48 hours after the intrusion, the standing water and buildup of humidity may lead to mold growth. Find out what actions you should take if you discover a leak in your roof.
