Effective Cleanup After Clean Water Flooding Effects

Hurricanes, storm surges, and flash floods can all be common concerns for the Louisiana homeowner, but flooding from clean water disasters in your residence can be just as devastating. There are multiple causes for these widespread disasters, and they require a committed and swift response to overcome.  

Common Causes of Clean Water Flooding 

To understand your need for water extraction in Slidell properties, you first need to appreciate the sources of water damage and the response required to address it. Emergencies involving leaks or indoor flooding are among the most common insurance claims for homeowners, making this a situation you should be prepared to handle. Common culprits include:  

  • Burst Pipes: Pipes in Louisiana homes often burst due to age, releasing hundreds of gallons of pressurized water in a matter of minutes. The water floods rooms, wet possessions, destroys drywall, wet insulation, and damages subfloors.  

  • Appliance Failure: Dishwashers, water-connected refrigerators, and washing machines, in particular, can fail without warning. A failed valve or disconnected hose will spill water all over your floors, leaking beneath tiles, warping wood, and ruining cabinetry.  

  • Accidental Overflows: Toilets that run, clogged sinks, or bathtubs may overflow and cause clean water to flow down walls, across floors, and into lower-level floors. Water can travel through baseboards and wick up into wall studs, forming hidden pockets of water that rot wood and encourage mold. 

Destruction Comes from More than Contaminants  

Do not be deceived by the water's clarity. Within a few hours, even clean water incidents can lead to:  

  • Buckled or cupped wood floors 

  • Drooping ceilings and flaking paint 

  • Swollen or crumbling drywall 

  • Electrical shorts and wiring corrosion 

  • Distorted subfloors that need complete replacement 

  • Persistent damp odors and ensuing mold infestations
