When your property experiences any kind of water damage, immediate and efficient water extraction are the most crucial factors to limiting the damage.

Water damage may stem from several different sources and may be sudden or as a result of a buildup from a slow leak. Some of the more common causes of water damage include plumbing failures, local flooding, groundwater leaks or long-term moisture and humidity.

Plumbing failures: Plumbing failures include blocked sinks, cracked or frozen water pipes, leaking water heaters, loose washing machine hoses and blocked drains among others. Any of these can release hundreds of gallons of water into your home within a short time.

Local flooding: Sudden heavy rain fall can cause unexpected flooding inside the home. The flood damage in these cases can be very rapid and very severe. Getting professional water removal done as soon as possible is crucial to minimising the extent of the damage.

Groundwater leaks: Groundwater can find its way into the basement or crawlspace anytime. This can result in soaked carpets in the basement, rotting wood in crawlspaces and growth of mold and mildew anywhere in these spaces.

Long-term moisture and humidity: Minor leaks such as a slowly leaking pipe or faucet are easily overlooked but the slow leaking can result in increased moisture and humidity, which over time can lead to major damage to wood, walls and personal items within that space.

Whether it is from a catastrophic storm, an overflowing sewer drain or from a burst pipe, the moment water intrudes into your home it creates all kinds of problems. Water destroys all equipment, furniture and other personal properties quickly and silently. If water removal is delayed it will soak the walls and floorboards, causing warping and cracking which can compromise the structural strength of your home as the walls and floorboards get soaked with water. Over a period of time, the persistent dampness can lead to growth of molds and mildew, which is a health hazard. The financial consequences of flood damage can be devastating.
