PuroClean Emergency Flood and Related Water Damage Restoration Services


Most people don’t realize that even a small amount of water can cause considerable damage to their homes or property. Water is a highly damaging element. When water infiltrates properties, the result is often extensive water damage, structural damage, and mold growth. Therefore, knowing how to identify trouble areas to prevent water damage in your home or commercial property is crucial.

Call the experts at PuroClean if your property is affected by water damage caused by floods, broken pipes, backed-up sewer lines, leaking faucets or toilets, air conditioning units, old water heaters, or any other type of water damage in your home or business. We are available day or night, 24/7.

Most property owners have never experienced water damage in their homes or business. Statistics show that 1 in 55 homes will suffer from some sort of water damage every year. We often receive calls from homeowners experiencing wet or flooded floors in their property, including wet carpets, tile, or wood floors. These floods are often caused by freezes, leaky pipes or appliances, old and rusty water heaters, and clogged air conditioning systems, or they can be caused by natural disasters.

Most Common Reasons For Water Damage In Your Property


Storm Damage and Flash Floods

Water damage can occur on your property due to natural catastrophes such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and other phenomena. Strong winds and heavy rains can damage your roof, leading rainwater to drain directly into your home or business. Severe weather can sometimes cause flash flooding, especially if your property is situated in a flood-prone zone.  Check out our guide on what to do when flash floods strike.

Overflowing Bathtubs, Sinks, and Washing Machines

You might be surprised to learn that at times, residents in multi-story units forget to turn off the water while preparing a bath, leading to overflow incidents. Similarly, washing machines can malfunction and overflow, causing flooding on the floors of the units where they are installed, and sometimes leaking to the units below. These events result in flooding inside walls, floors, and damage to drywall, ceilings, and other home components. Head over to our blog to discover what steps to take if your washing machine overflows.

Pipes and Supply Line Leaks

The pipes on your property carry water throughout, so a leak or puncture can lead to significant damage. For instance, a leaking kitchen sink pipe might allow enough water to flow into the cabinet below it, potentially causing damage. A leaking pipe inside the walls may worsen the situation. Such a leak can cause significant water damage and the formation of a mold colony because the entire wall becomes wet. If there is a leak in your plumbing supply line or drainage pipe beneath the concrete slab, it can pose even further challenges. Learn how to detect if there is a leak leading to water damage within your walls.

Frozen Pipes

We have received numerous calls from people seeking assistance when their pipes freeze. Frozen pipes are a common issue during the colder months. As temperatures drop, water in poorly insulated pipes can freeze. When water freezes, it expands, causing damage to the water lines, resulting in leaky pipes and potential flooding in the house. Read our tips on how to prevent pipes from freezing, and see tips about winter storm safety for homeowners.

Dangers of Not Resolving Water Damage

Blocked Drains and Sump Pumps

Hair, grease accumulation, toiletries, dirt, and other foreign objects can obstruct drainpipes and prevent regular drainage. When clogged drains are not promptly addressed, they can easily back up and cause flooding and damage to your home’s interior. Similarly, an inefficient, obstructed, damaged, or failing sump pump can leave your basement dealing with large quantities of water that cannot be drained. Failing to evacuate the water can result in costly flood damage. Here are some tips to help maintain your sump pump.

Extinguishing a Fire

Many people may not realize it, but a common side effect of a fire is dealing with heavy water damage. First responders and emergency sprinkler systems douse the entire property with significant amounts of water in an effort to stop the fire. Additionally, we have encountered numerous instances where individuals looking for a place to hang their clothes accidentally trigger the sprinklers connected to the pipes, leading to flooding on multiple floors. Read our list of facts about home sprinkler systems.

Roof Leaks

The physical integrity of your roof is crucial for maintaining conditions inside your home. Over time, natural wear and tear can cause roofs to weaken and leaks to form. When the roof is compromised, precipitation can enter your home and begin to cause damage. If water damage is not addressed within 24-48 hours after the intrusion, standing water and humidity buildup may lead to mold growth. Discover what actions you should take if you discover a leak in your roof. Find out what actions you should take if you discover a leak in your roof.

Ice Dams

Ice dams form on roofs during a cycle of snow precipitating, melting, and then refreezing. This occurs because the heat from the attic rises upward, causing the frozen snow to melt into liquid water. The liquid water then runs off toward the edges of the roof but refreezes in sub-freezing temperatures, resulting in a buildup of ice along the edges of the roof. This damming effect can cause snow and ice to accumulate, putting your roof at risk of being overloaded and damaged. Read our guide towards the most effective means of preventing ice dams on your roof.
