Residential Water Damage

There are many causes of residential water damage in the Dallas, TX area. Frozen pipes and toilet failures are among the biggest causes. However, other plumbing failures can also lead to water damage, including broken pipes, faulty appliances, and water backup, among others. 

Water damage can lead to a host of hazards. While most people only think of property damage as the major hazard of residential water damage, there are many health and safety hazards too that can be caused by water damage. Contaminated water from broken sewer pipes is a serious health hazard that can lead to infection if the necessary precautions are not taken. Mold and other biological growth can also pose serious health issues to home dwellers. Electrocution is another possible hazard that can result when electrical appliances get in touch with standing water and it is perhaps the greatest hazard caused by water damage. There can also be structure damage due to water damage problems in a home. For instance, wet wood will start to rot if not dried or replaced. Fortunately, all these hazards are easily preventable if you know what to do. But what you certainly should do, is contact a professional as soon as damage is present.

  1. My shore house sustained massive amounts of water damage during the hurricane sandy era. We are still in the process of cleaning up the house and the area surrounding it. We are trying to take one day at a time, but it is hard when it seems like it will take a decade to repair everything.
