Most Common Reasons for Water Damage in Knoxville Homes and Businesses


Storm Damage and Flash Floods

In areas like Halls Crossroads and near the Beaver Creek watershed, flash flooding is a growing concern. Heavy downpours can breach basements, overwhelm sump pumps, and damage historic home foundations. Read our guide for what to do when flash floods strike.

Roof Leaks

Aging roofs on mid-century homes in North Knoxville or hail-damaged shingles from spring storms can allow water into attics and wall cavities, often going unnoticed until mold appears. Find out what actions you should take if you discover a leak in your roof.

Pipes and Supply Line Leaks

Old copper or polybutylene plumbing is still present in many Knoxville homes. Slow leaks often go undetected until there’s mold, warped flooring, or damaged drywall. Learn how to detect if there is a leak leading to water damage within your walls.

Frozen Pipes

Cold snaps in January can burst pipes in crawl spaces or poorly insulated garages. Homes in Karns and Solway with exposed pipes are especially vulnerable. Read our tips on how to prevent pipes from freezing, and find tips about winter storm safety for homeowners.

Overflowing Appliances

Washing machine hoses, dishwashers, and ice makers are frequent culprits. We often respond to calls where second-floor appliances flood multiple levels below. Head over to our blog to find out what actions to take if your washing machine overflows.

Blocked Drains and Failing Sump Pumps

Clogged basement drains and overworked sump pumps are common in homes near creeks or with poor yard grading, leading to recurring water issues after storms. Here are some tips to help maintain your sump pump.

Extinguishing a Fire

Water from sprinkler systems or emergency response can saturate flooring, drywall, and personal belongings, adding water damage to the fire cleanup process. Read our list of facts about home sprinkler systems.

Ice Dams

Knoxville winters sometimes bring freeze-thaw cycles, which create ice dams on older, poorly insulated roofs. This causes interior leaks and ceiling stains. Read our guide towards the most effective means of preventing ice dams on your roof.

What to Expect From Our Water Damage Recovery Process

  • We Find the Water You Can’t See
    Using advanced thermal imaging and moisture sensors, we detect hidden water behind walls, under floors, and inside ceilings, especially important in properties with crawl spaces or finished basements.
  • We Clean, Disinfect, and Deodorize
    Knoxville’s stormwater can bring in more than just water. Our EPA-approved cleaners and air scrubbers eliminate bacteria, allergens, and that musty odor often left behind.
  • We Repair and Rebuild
    From soaked insulation to collapsed ceilings, we repair and rebuild using materials suited to your property’s original design, whether it’s a 1930s Craftsman or a new construction home in Solway.
  • We Stop Moisture From Coming Back
    Preventing future issues is part of our process. We install vapor barriers, optimize ventilation, and help you prevent future leaks or humidity buildup.
