Top 5 Causes of Emergency Water Cleanup

6/17/2020 (Permalink)

With years of being one of the best water damage cleanup companies, SERVPRO of Aberdeen/Holmdel has seen our share of water issues. No two restoration projects are exactly the same, but some are more common than others.

Take a look at the top five causes of water issues in the central Jersey area. By knowing the most common triggers, you will know where your home’s weaknesses might be and possibly prevent a costly emergency water cleanup.

  1. Dishwasher

Your dishwasher can cause water damage if not properly sealed, the latch is broken, or it was loaded with the wrong soap. Make sure any leaks are immediately addressed and your dishwasher is repaired or replaced ASAP.

  1. Washing Machine

The same goes for your washing machine. Perform regular checks, inspecting beneath the unit as well as behind it. Make sure all fittings are securely connected, and there are no leaks underneath. If you have an older washing machine that gives you frequent issues, consider replacing it with a more efficient model.

  1. Air Conditioner

Your A/C removes moisture from the air and that moisture can build up within the unit itself. If not properly drained, that water could be slowly leaking into your home potentially ruining the flooring and drywall and, in many cases, introducing mold, which is always an emergency water cleanup situation.

  1. Leaking Pipes

If you notice water pooling in the kitchen or bathroom, you may be dealing with a loose-fitting pipe under sink. Don’t wait to call a plumber. One leak can be a sign of other leaks in the home, too.

  1. Clogged Drains

Clogged drains aren’t just annoying—they also cause water damage (and mold growth) if left unchecked. A clogged toilet can cause water to back up into the shower, sinks, or bathroom floor. Sewer water is extremely dangerous because it contains raw sewage and bacteria, requiring help from water damage cleanup companies.
