Possible Causes for Water Damage in Temecula

10/22/2024 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Temecula understands the different causes & categories of water damage in Southern California:

An old poem has the line, “water, water, everywhere”. When you need to say this in your home or office, you know there is trouble. You may very likely be looking at water damage. There are several different possible causes of water damage in Temecula.

Causes can include:

Leaky dishwashers or washing machines
Clogged pipes
Leaking roofs
Broken toilet pipes
Heavy rain
Snow or ice

The amount of water damage depends on the amount of water and on the cause of the damage.

SERVPRO of Temecula knows it is imperative to start the cleanup process as soon as possible. The longer your home or business is waterlogged, the more damage you will see (and the more expensive it will be to repair after cleanup has been completed).

Categories of Water Damage in Temecula:

Clean water. It might come from an overflowing sink or a broken appliance. The water does not pose a threat to people. Keep in mind that any water will become contaminated after it stops flowing.
Gray water. This water is contaminated from the get-go. It comes from broken toilets or sump pumps. It might not look dirty, or it might be brown.
Black water. Like gray water, it might not look dirty. One major source of black water is broken sewage pipes. Another source is any water that has been standing still.
