PuroClean of Olathe PuroClean Emergency Flood and Water Damage Restoration Services in Overland Park
Most people don’t realize that even a small amount of water can cause considerable damage to their homes or property in Overland Park. Water can be a very damaging element. When water finds its way into properties the result is often extensive water damage, structural damage, and mold growth. Thus, knowing how to spot trouble areas to prevent water damage in your home or commercial property in Overland Park is critical.
Call the experts at PuroClean if your Overland Park 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 kind of water damage in your home or business. We are here day or night, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Most property owners have never experienced water damage in their homes or businesses. Statistics show that 1 in 55 homes will suffer from some type of water damage every year. We often get calls from Overland Park homeowners experiencing wet or flooded floors in their property, including damp carpets, tile, or wet wood floors. These floods are often caused by freezes, leaky pipes, leaking appliances, old or rusty water heaters, and clogged air conditioning systems, or they can be caused by natural disasters like floods or severe storms.
Most Common Reasons for Water Damage to Your Overland Park Property
Storm Damage and Flash Floods
Water damage may strike your property due to natural catastrophes such as tornadoes, floods, and other extreme situations. Strong winds and heavy rains can cause harm to your roof, causing rainwater to drain directly into your home or business in Overland Park. Worse, severe weather can sometimes result in flash flooding, particularly if your property is located in a flood-prone zone. Read our guide for what to do when flash floods strike near your Overland Park property.
Overflowing Bathtubs, Sinks, and Washing Machines
You would be surprised to know that at times, people living in multi- story units, forget to turn the water off as they are preparing for a bath, and the tub overflows. Other times washing machines fail, resulting in water overflow and a huge mess to clean up. These events cause flooding on the floors where these units are installed, and at times they end up leaking from upstairs to the living spaces below. These events end up flooding inside the walls and floors and damaging drywall and ceilings as well as other home components. Overland Park homeowners, check out one of our articles to find out what actions to take if your washing machine overflows.
Pipes and Supply Line Leaks
The pipes on your Overland Park property carry water throughout, so a leak or puncture can lead to major damage. 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 make things even worse. A leak like this can cause significant water damage and the formation of a mold colony because the entire wall is wetted. To make matters worse, if there is a leak in your plumbing supply line or drainage pipe in the soil beneath the concrete slab, you’ll be in a grave situation. Learn how to detect if there is a leak leading to water damage within your walls.
Frozen Pipes
We have had many events where people call PuroClean when their pipes freeze. Frozen pipes are a common issue in the colder months, such as December, January, and February. As the temperatures drop, the water in non-insulated pipes can quickly freeze. Water expands when it freezes, which can cause serious damage to water lines, creating leaky pipes and flooding your Overland Park home. Read our tips on how to prevent pipes from freezing, and find tips about winter storm safety for homeowners.

Dangers of Not Resolving Water Damage in Overland Park
Blocked Drains and Sump Pumps
Hair, grease accumulation, toiletries, dirt, and other foreign objects can block the drainpipe and prevent routine drainage. When clogged drains are not addressed promptly, they may easily back up and cause flooding and significant damage to your Overland Park home’s interior. An inefficient, obstructed, or damaged sump pump will ultimately break down, leaving your basement dealing with large quantities of water that cannot be drained. Being unable to remove the water can lead to costly flood damage. Here are some helpful tips on how to maintain your sump pump in Overland Park.
Extinguishing a Fire
Many people wouldn’t think of it, but a common side-effect of fire is dealing with the significant water damage that follows. First Responders and emergency sprinkler systems douse the entirety of the property with considerable amounts of water in an effort to stop the fire from getting worse. We also have had many events where people 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 in Overland Park.
Roof Leaks
The physical integrity of your roof is critical to maintaining the inside of your home. Over time, natural wear and tear will cause roofs in Overland Park to get weaker, potentially resulting in water leaks. When the roof is breached, precipitation will enter your home and start causing noticeable damage in its wake. If the water damage is not addressed within 24-48 hours after the intrusion, the standing water and buildup of humidity may lead to rapid mold growth. 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 accumulating, melting, and then refreezing. This is caused by the heat of the attic rising upwards and causing the frozen snow to melt into water. The water runs off towards the edges of the roof but refreezes in the colder temperatures. This process results in a buildup of ice along the roof edges. This damming effect will then cause snow and ice to build up and put your roof in danger of being overloaded and seriously damaged. Read our guide with suggestions on the most effective ways of preventing ice dams on your roof.
