There are a variety of ways water can cause damage to your property. With over 50 years of experience, we have seen countless types of water damage, and have an idea of what we can expect upon arrival on the initial call.
Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes can be a common occurrence during Idaho’s winter months. Sub-freezing temperatures can cause the water within the pipelines to expand, which leads to the development of tiny cracks.
The ideal way to prevent water from freezing is to keep faucets at a slow, consistent drip. The consistent water flow will prevent the water from forming a hard block within the water line.
Storm Damage
In the event of a storm, high winds can cause obstructions on the roof, or cracks within the windows. These easy entry points can provide a sure-fire entrance for unwanted water.
Appliance Failures
There are a wide variety of appliances in your home that utilize water lines. It is quite common for a hose to slip or a connection to fail, as different appliances are built with many different kinds of connections and fittings. When this occurs, water damage can occur very quickly.
HVAC Malfunction
When a condensate line becomes clogged and unaddressed, water damage can occur around the HVAC system. Since the condensate water does not have anywhere else to go, it overflows onto the surrounding floor, drenching the flooring, subfloor and other building materials in the direct vicinity.
Failed Water Lines
Pipelines can become old as they age, creating a brittle effect. One tiny crack can spark hundreds of gallons of damage. Although overwhelming, water damage from failed water lines is considered clean water and can be primarily restored using advanced drying techniques.
Sump Pump Failure
There are several reasons why a sump pump could fail. Power outages, frozen or clogged sump pump pipes, stuck switches, lack of maintenance, or old age can all be contributing factors.
Sewer Back-Up
Sewage water is classified as the most severe type of water damage. According to the IICRC, there is a specialized procedure in restoring a property from a sewage loss. Most commonly contributed by clogs in the sewer line, overgrown tree roots, or a damaged sewer pipe, failures can create hazardous conditions within the property.
Interior Sprinkler Failure
In a large commercial building, sprinkler lines can be disrupted even in the absence of a fire. Maintenance accidents, freezing temperatures, or small cracks in the water lines can all contribute to failing sprinkler lines.
Accidental sprinkler triggers can create as big of a mess as deliberate ones and require a certified water restoration contractor to mitigate.
