Washing Machine Leak
More than 50% of all washing machine water damage claims can be traced back to a supply hose failure often caused by a hairline break, a poor connection, or the age of the machine’s hose. Regular machine maintenance can alert you to issues before they become a massive problem
Burst Pipe
After a sump pump failure, water begins to leak through the foundation and basement walls and pool in the lowest spots on the floor. Regardless of exactly where the water settles, it will begin to warp wood, cause rot, and lead to mold growth in a short period of time.
Sump Pump Failure
A water pipe burst is more common on winter nights when temperatures are at the lowest. However, there is a risk any time the temperature falls below freezing. Pipe bursts can be obvious with clear signs of a leak, but can also be small with the only clue being a slight drop in water pressure. These small leaks can be easily overlooked causing major damage in the meantime.
Flood Waters
Microorganisms from floodwaters can contaminate indoor air and cause respiratory problems and allergies. These pollutants continue to damage building materials long after the floodwaters recede. Flood waters can pose significant harm to your health and restoration services should begin as soon as the waters recede.
