Common Causes of Water Damage
Hurricanes & Storms
Florida has a high risk of hurricanes and tropical storms, particularly during the Atlantic hurricane season (June to November). The accompanying heavy rains, storm surges, and high winds make our state prone to widespread water damage, even indoors.
Broken or Leaking Pipes
The combination of high temperatures and shifting soil can put stress on a building’s pipes, eventually leading to breaks or bursts. Such incidents can easily escalate into flooding and cause significant water damage.
Plumbing Failures
Broken appliances, sewer backups, and other plumbing problems often contribute to water damage in residential and commercial spaces. As your plumbing system ages, the risk of flooding tends to increase.
High Humidity
Florida's warm, wet climate can elevate indoor humidity levels, resulting in condensation on surfaces and increasing the risk of mold growth. Many home and business owners invest in dehumidifiers to help manage moisture risks.
Leaking Roof
Intense rain, strong winds, and storms in Florida can inflict damage on roofs, resulting in leaks. If not promptly addressed, these leaks can allow water infiltration, harming ceilings, walls, and personal belongings within the structure.
Malfunctioning HVAC System
In our state’s warm climate, air conditioning units and HVAC systems work tirelessly. Without proper maintenance, these systems can develop condensation or leaks, increasing the risk of water damage.
Clogged Gutters
Gutters are designed to direct rainwater away from the structure. If they become obstructed by debris, the gutters can impede proper drainage and potentially cause water damage to the foundation, walls, and basement areas.
Damaged Foundation
A damaged foundation in Florida heightens the risk of flooding and can allow water to seep through vulnerabilities. If the damage isn’t fixed quickly, the entire structure can be compromised.
Malfunctioning Appliances
A broken or malfunctioning kitchen or bathroom appliance can rapidly lead to flooding, causing extensive water damage. Even a small, hard-to-notice leak can contribute to significant damage over time.
Poor Drainage
Poorly planned or malfunctioning drainage systems can impede the efficient removal of rainwater, exacerbating the risk of flooding. If you’ve noticed standing water around your property, you may have a drainage issue.
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Inspect the Damage
Our professionals will begin by assessing the extent of the water damage and identifying the affected areas, as well as the source of the water.
Remove the Water
We’ll remove any standing water as quickly as possible using specialized equipment, such as pumps and vacuums. This expedites the drying process.
Dry and Dehumidify
Next, we dry any residual moisture with the help of high-powered equipment, including industrial fans and dehumidifiers. This can take anywhere from several hours to days.
Clean and Sanitize
Once everything is dry, we’ll carefully clean and sanitize the affected surfaces and belongings. Doing so helps reduce the risk of lingering contaminants.
Restore and Repair
If necessary, our team will assist with structural repairs, including fixing walls, floors, and ceilings. Ultimately, our goal is to return your property to its pre-damaged condition.
