After hour maintenance crews were on scene when the water heater malfunctioned and started spraying water rapidly. They were able to get the water shut off quickly, but not fast enough to avoid damage. This shows you how quickly water damage can affected your building.  

Here we can see how water has gone behind the paint on the drywall causing it to bubble and pull away from the wall. Water will find its way into the smallest areas causing damage to many different types of building materials.

Outdoor water spigot froze during extremely cold weather, and began to flood the basement of this Valley Park home. It is always a good idea to check this area as we move into colder weather for proper insulation, and to shut off the water to the exterior water spigot.

This sewer backup occurred in an apartment building in South City. Luckily the basement is unfinished an no contents were affected! Simple extraction and decontamination were used to disinfect the unfinished basement.

A frozen pipe burst in this home while the family was out of town. Water sat on this flooring for less than 24 hours and still caused the flooring to buckle. This goes to show that all water intrusions should be mitigated immediately.

Here we can see what cold temperatures can do to your plumbing. This pipe froze during the Polar Vortex we recently experienced. Even this small break in a pipe can cause heavy amounts of damage to your home or business in a short amount of time.
