Where Did This Water Come From?

10/19/2021 (Permalink)

Some of our most common calls are from someone asking for help because their basement has flooded over or because there is water coming from their ceiling. Whether it’s 1:00 in the morning or 1:00 in the afternoon, SERVPRO of Pasadena/Gibson Island/Lake Shore is here to help restore your property if it has been damaged by water. 

The most common causes of water damage are from: 

• Ice-maker water line – this is the line that connects to your refrigerator to provide cold water and ice. If this line breaks or is damaged, it could lead to unforeseen water damage behind and under your fridge. 

• Toilet – Whether it is a sewage backup or a broken pipe, we often get calls to clean dirty water from bathrooms.   
• Storm – basement sump pump often during rain, thunderstorms and hurricanes. In the instance of a power outage, the sump pump will automatically shut off and this could lead to flooding. 
• Roof – Most homeowners do not know they have a problem with their roof until water is draining from their ceiling. Check your gutters and shingles for any signs of damage.  

Call us, SERVPRO of Pasadena/Gibson Island/Lake Shore, at 410-255-1110. We will help you stop the flow of water immediately and can mitigate and restore your property. Our trained professionals will make it “Like it never even happened.”
