Common Causes of Water Damage
There is no doubt that coming home to find a flood in your home is one of the most stressful and difficult experiences of your life. Water damage can happen without warning as the result of a storm, from a leaking pipe, broken hot water heater, flooded appliance, backed up sewer or roof leak. It can also occur as a slow insidious event in which mold appears and/or structural damage to drywall, baseboards, ceilings or cabinets is the first sign of a problem. Here are some of the most common reasons for water damage:
- Flooding from storm damage that may include thunderstorms, tornadoes, tropical storms and hurricanes
- Overflowing bathtubs and toilets
- Roof damage
- Dishwasher flood
- Washing machine flood
- Burst pipes
- Sewer backups
- Leaking appliances, water heaters and plumbing
- Settling or depression of ground under foundations and concrete slabs
- Sump pump failure
- Flooding as a result of firefighting efforts
