Signs of Flood Damage

A supply line break or a pipe break will have different "symptoms" than water in your business caused by a malfunctioning appliance. Flood damage of course will have its own symptoms as well. Things like flood damage will often have standing water in any number of rooms while a supply line break or pipe break will have another set of symptoms. You can't begin water cleanup until you have determined where the damage is being caused and why it is occurring.

Signs of a flooded building include standing water in one or more rooms or areas, stains, molding, and cracks, as well as soiled carpets. Water in your business and water on your property will cause one or more of these signs, and it's in these areas where flood damage or other types of damage will be examined and analyzed by a restoration company. Mitigation begins when the company arrives.
