New York Water Damage Restoration

Water damage may strike your property due to natural catastrophes such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and other phenomena. Strong winds and heavy rains can cause harm to your roof, causing rainwater to drain directly into your home or company. Worse, severe weather can sometimes result in flash flooding, particularly if your property is located in a flood-prone zone.

You would be surprised to know that at times, people living in multiple story units, forget to turn the water off as they are preparing a bath and it overflows, other times washing machines fail, overflowing. These events cause flooding on the floors where these units are installed and at times they end up leaking to the units below. These events end up flooding the inside of the walls, the floors, and damaging drywall and ceilings as well as other home components requiring water damage repair services. A water restoration company that really understands the drying process is needed to prevent further damage.

The pipes on your property carry water throughout, so a  burst pipe, a leak or puncture can lead to significant damage. A leaking kitchen sink pipe might allow enough water to flow into the cabinet below it, potentially causing damage. A leaking pipe inside the walls may make things worse. A leak like this can cause significant water damage and the formation of a mold colony because the entire wall is wetted. Worse yet, if there is a leak in your plumbing supply line or drainage pipe in the soil beneath your concrete slab, you’ll be out of luck. Learn how to detect if there is a leak leading to water damage within your walls.

Frozen pipes are a common issue in the colder months. As the temperatures get lower, the water in pipes that are not well insulated can freeze causing a burst pipe and flood damage. Water expands when it freezes, which damages the water lines, creating leaky pipes or even at times causes pipes to burst flooding the house.
