The Common Causes of Residential Water Damage

Combat the Negative Effects of Everyday Residential Water Damage in San Diego

Water damage affects us most dramatically when there is a major interior flooding event, very often due to a burst pipe in our homes. These major water damage events are devastating and come without warning, but there are other common causes of residential water damage that you may not even realize. Typically, we cannot truly prepare for a major flood damage event, but we can take preventative measures when dealing with water intrusion that happens on a daily basis.

Leaks in Residential Roofing

Homeowners are likely aware of the dangers of roof leaks, as they are very common. This is especially true in areas where winters reach freezing temperatures. While we may not have to worry about that too much here in San Diego, a leaky roof can still be a major cause for concern. We recommend having a licensed and bonded roofing professional inspect your home and perform repairs where needed. Even in San Diego, leaks in your roofing can cause devastation when a storm arrives.

Leaks in Piping

A massive contributor to household water damage simply comes from leaky pipes. If the threat is not severe, you can call a well-reviewed plumbing specialist to fight this type of water intrusion. However, if there is a serious burst in your piping, call us as soon as possible. Damage caused by a major pipe burst can be very serious, causing great damage to your property.

Raw Sewage Residential Water Damage Toilet backflow is a major residential water damage issue, and raw sewage cleanup is needed from a professional flood restoration company.

Household Appliances

A very common cause of residential water damage is simply leakage from household appliances. Refrigerators, washing machines, and toilet backflow are all major contributors to residential water intrusion. A great way to fight against this type of water damage is inspecting your appliances regularly and repairing them throughout the year. However, different appliances call for different measures. A leaky washing machine will release gray water, while toilet backflow will contain raw sewage. If you experience toilet backflow, call us here at San Diego Flood Damage immediately, because sewage water is very dangerous and must be removed by a professional.
