Common Causes of
Water Damage
Homeowners, business owners, and industrial facility managers in the DFW area are wise to know the many different common causes of water damage, as this is the first step in avoiding a problem and, if necessary, taking immediate steps to address it. An inspection can be performed to determine the specific source and damage.
- Pipe and Plumbing Failure: Broken, cracked, or burst pipes in a building’s plumbing system are one of the most common causes of water damage. These can be caused by shifting pressure that causes an instant rupture, gradual corrosion of the pipe material itself, or a failure in a jointed connection.
- Broken or Leaking Appliances and Equipment: Dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators, and water heaters are just a few of the common household appliances that are liable to experience water damage at some point in time.
- HVAC Water Damage: The most common HVAC water damage source is the AC condensate drain line becoming clogged and backing up, which causes water to leak from the unit.
- Flooding and Storms: When heavy rain from an intense thunderstorm overloads the storm drains, water can come up through the ground level of a building or into the basement or crawlspace of a residential home.
- Roof Leaks and Related Issues: Missing or damaged roof shingles, improperly sealed flashing, and clogged gutters and downspouts can all allow rainwater to enter through the roof.
- Sewer and Drain Backup:
A clogged or cracked main sewer line, or an overflowing sewer main from a city or municipal line, can send sewage and other contaminants back into the building.

Initial Safety Inspection

We have moisture meters to detect water in drywall, wood, insulation, flooring, and other materials, as well as in every home, commercial, and industrial property in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.

We use thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden water issues that may be lurking behind drywall, below flooring, and in other concealed spaces.
Damage Classification and Structural Check
Our assessment team will follow IICRC standards during water damage assessment. This includes identifying where the problem is coming from, and the class and category of the damage.
Reporting and Restoration Planning
At the end of the inspection, you can expect to receive a complete report, including our findings, moisture readings, and any supporting photos. We’ll also sit down and go through what you can expect next, give you a clear estimate, and explain every step of the restoration process.
