We are here day or night 24\/7.<\/p>\n<p>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.

Strong winds and heavy rains can damage your roof, causing rainwater to drain directly into your home or business. Worse, severe weather can sometimes result in flash flooding, particularly if your property is located in a flood-prone zone.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/blog\/facts-about-flash-floods\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/blog\/facts-about-flash-floods\/\">Read our guide<\/a>\u00a0for what to do when flash floods strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overflowing Bathtubs, Sinks, and Washing Machines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be surprised to learn that people in multi-story units sometimes forget to turn off the water while preparing a bath, and it overflows; other times, washing machines fail and overflow. These events can flood the floors where these units are installed, and sometimes leak from upstairs to the units below. These events can flood walls and floors and damage drywall, ceilings, and other home components.\u00a0Visit our blog to learn what to do if your washing machine overflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pipes and Supply Line Leaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pipes on your property carry water throughout, so a leak or puncture can lead to significant 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 worse. A leak like this can cause significant water damage and mold growth because the entire wall becomes saturated. Worse yet, if there is a leak in your plumbing supply line or drainage pipe in the soil beneath your concrete slab, you\u2019ll be out of luck.\u00a0Learn how to detect\u00a0a leak that could cause water damage within your walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frozen Pipes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have had many situations where people call PuroClean when their pipes freeze. Frozen pipes are a common issue in the colder months that encounter. As temperatures drop, water in poorly insulated pipes can freeze. Water expands when it freezes, which can damage water lines and cause leaks and flooding.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/blog\/how-to-prevent-frozen-water-pipes-and-what-to-do-if-you-couldnt-prevent-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read our tips<\/a>\u00a0on how to prevent pipes from freezing, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/blog\/winter-storm-home-safety-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">find tips about winter storm safety<\/a>\u00a0for homeowners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":3,"template":"","class_list":["post-11","service","type-service","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/poughkeepsie-ny-puroclean-poughkeepsie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services\/11","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/poughkeepsie-ny-puroclean-poughkeepsie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/poughkeepsie-ny-puroclean-poughkeepsie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/service"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/poughkeepsie-ny-puroclean-poughkeepsie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/poughkeepsie-ny-puroclean-poughkeepsie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
