What Is Water Damage Restoration?
Water damage restoration is the process of removing water, drying, cleaning, and repairing a property affected by water intrusion. This service goes beyond simple cleanup—it’s about addressing potential structural and health risks associated with water damage. Our restoration process ensures your home or business is safe, dry, and fully functional once again.
Common Causes of Water Damage
Water damage can occur for various reasons, including:
- Heavy Rainfall and Storms: Intense rain can overwhelm drainage systems, leading to flooding and water damage.
- Burst Pipes: Freezing temperatures in Maine winters often cause pipes to burst, spilling water into homes.
- Appliance Leaks: Faulty washing machines, dishwashers, and water heaters are frequent culprits.
- Roof Leaks: Missing shingles or clogged gutters can lead to water seeping into your attic or walls.
- Sewer Backups: Blockages in sewer lines can result in dirty water flooding basements or lower levels.
