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.\u00a0Here are some tips<\/a>\u00a0to help maintain your sump pump.<\/p>\n Many people wouldn\u2019t 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 under considerable amounts of water in an effort to stop the fire. 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.\u00a0Read our list of facts<\/a>\u00a0about home sprinkler systems.<\/p>\n The physical integrity of your roof is vital to maintaining conditions on the inside of your home. Over time, natural wear and tear will cause roofs to weaken and leaks to form. When the roof is breached, precipitation will enter your home and begin to cause 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 mold growth.\u00a0Find out what actions you should take<\/a>\u00a0if you discover a leak in your roof.<\/p>\n Ice dams form on roofs during a cycle of snow precipitating, melting, then refreezing. This is caused by the heat of the attic rising upwards and causing the frozen snow to melt into liquid water. The liquid water runs off towards the edges of the roof but refreezes in the sub-freezing temperatures, resulting in a buildup of ice along the edges of the roof. This damming effect will then cause snow and ice to build up and put your roof in major jeopardy of being overloaded and damaged.\u00a0Read our guide<\/a>\u00a0towards the most effective means of preventing ice dams on your roof.<\/p>\n","cards_section_title":"Why Choose [company_name] for Residential Water Damage Restoration","cards_section_subtitle":"Trained and Certified Restoration Professionals","cards_group":[{"card_title":"Trained and Certified Restoration Professionals","card_content":"Our residential water damage restoration team is trained, certified, and experienced in responding to a wide range of water damage situations.

\n
\nWinston-Salem\u2019s mix of urban sprawl and floodplain zones means even a few inches of rain can trigger serious flooding. Low-lying neighborhoods and properties near creeks are especially vulnerable. See our guide on flood recovery and insurance tips.<\/li>\n
\nNorth Carolina\u2019s winters bring freeze\/thaw cycles that can burst pipes in crawlspaces or exterior walls. Homes in higher elevation areas like Germanton and Stokesdale are especially at risk.<\/li>\n
\nImproper drainage or aging roofing systems can lead to slow leaks that enter attic insulation or interior walls, eventually causing mold and drywall damage.<\/li>\n
\nWashing machine hose failures, leaking dishwashers, or running tubs can lead to significant water damage\u2014especially in multi-story homes where water can migrate between floors.<\/li>\n
\nRural homes and those with basements in Walnut Cove or Belews Creek often rely on sump pumps. A malfunction during a storm can quickly turn into a flooded basement.<\/li>\n
\nWinston-Salem and surrounding towns have a large number of homes built before modern plumbing codes. We frequently see corrosion in pipes, slab leaks, and failing supply lines that cause slow but serious water intrusion.<\/li>\n
\nFires don\u2019t just destroy\u2014they soak. Emergency sprinklers or fire department response often saturate entire buildings, especially commercial or multi-unit properties. We handle fire and water restoration from start to finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-11","service","type-service","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"service_name":"Water Damage Mitigation","service_is_featured":true,"service_tagline":"Professional water damage mitigation and restoration services to help restore your home after unexpected water intrusion.","service_icon":"","service_short_description":"Water damage can result from unexpected leaks, flooding from storms, plumbing failures, or appliance malfunctions.
