If your appliance causes water damage at your home, SERVPRO® of The Woodlands/Conroe can make the damage "Like it never even happened."

Water damage is a constant threat in our homes! Natural disasters and severe weather events can cause structural issues as well as water damage, and even something as simple as an appliance issue can leave you with a big mess on your hands.

Catching these issues quickly can help you avoid lasting damages.

An Appliance Malfunction

No one wants to think about it, but we all have nightmares of our appliances failing and causing a mess in our homes. In fact, it is one of the most common reasons for water damage among households in the Conroe community!

Any appliance that has a water line runs the risk of leaking or suffering some major malfunction.

If you notice a small drip coming from your washing machine or come home to a soaking wet carpet by your utility room, close off your water valves and turn off the power to any appliances near the water. Then give us a call! The faster we can respond to your emergency, the better chance you have of avoiding warped walls and floors and other costly damages.

Severe Weather and Flooding

Water damage can also occur due to any sort of weather event! When a severe storm rolls through town, it can cause flash flooding issues or lead to water backing up into your basement.

One way to avoid this is to invest in a sump pump for your lowest level. A sump pump works to pull water away from your foundation and basement, keeping your floors and walls nice and dry.

In addition, flying debris or a tornado can cause structural damage to your home, which can cause water damage if parts of your home are exposed to the elements.

In this scenario, make sure everyone in your family is safe and accounted for after the storm and then get us on the phone. Moisture can seep into many different areas, and the longer you wait to take action, you run the risk of mold and mildew on top of everything else.
