Otay Mesa Home Sustains Damage from Indoor Flooding?
5/14/2024 (Permalink)
Our local Otay Mesa/San Ysidro teams respond to flood damage emergencies every year. Flooding can occur inside a home or business for many reasons. Here are some examples:
Plumbing Failures: Leaking or burst pipes, malfunctioning appliances, and damaged plumbing fixtures (like faucets or toilets) are common causes of indoor flooding. These failures can damage floors, walls, ceilings, and belongings.
Sewer Backups: Sewer backups can occur when wastewater cannot flow properly through the sewer system; instead, it backs up into homes through drains, toilets, or floor drains. Causes of sewer backups include blockages in the sewer line, tree roots infiltrating pipes, or heavy rainfall overwhelming the sewer system.
Foundation Leaks: Cracks in the foundation, improper sealing around windows or doors, or poor drainage around the foundation can allow water to seep into basements or crawl spaces, leading to flooding. This type of flooding is especially common during heavy rainfall periods.
Roof Leaks: Damaged or improperly installed roofing materials can allow water to penetrate the roof and enter the home, leading to leaks and water damage to ceilings, walls, and insulation. Roof leaks can be caused by aging materials, missing shingles, or damage from severe weather events such as storms or high winds.
