Time is critical when responding to damage caused by water or sewage. Whether that water was caused by a malfunctioning dishwasher, water heater, or other appliance, a sewer backup or a leaky pipe, or even basement flooding during rains, we have likely encountered it all.

No matter the source, whether you are a homeowner or business owner, it is imperative to call a professional water damage restoration contractor as soon as possible to start water extraction and proper structural drying before mold begins to grow and further property damage occurs. Even if the damage is from a sewage spill, our team can handle the cleanup.

Our water and sewer damage restoration services are available in these cities in Kansas–

How Does Sewer Damage Occur?

Sewer damage can occur for various reasons, including blockages in the main sewer line, backup from a clogged drain or toilet, tree root intrusion, or damaged sewer pipes. Heavy rainfall or flooding can also cause sewer damage as the excess water can overwhelm the sewer system.

Additionally, age-related wear and tear of sewer pipes can lead to cracks, corrosion, or collapsed pipes, causing sewer damage. Regardless of the cause, it’s crucial to address sewer damage promptly to prevent further damage and potential health hazards.

Signs Of Water and Sewer Damage

While the signs of water damage in houses and commercial buildings may vary, here are some of the most common indicators of water damage–

  • Water Stains – A strong indicator of water damage in your building is the presence of water stains. Your walls or roofs may have a water leak if you notice water stains on your floors, walls, and ceilings.
  • Humidity – High humidity levels inside your building could be an obvious symptom of water damage. When humidity levels spike up, it leads to water stains, crumbling paint, and even structural damage over time.
  • Mold and Mildew Growth  Mold and mildew thrive in wet environments. If you notice green, black, or white spots on your walls or ceilings, your property may have water damage. Mold may cause your home to smell musty, which is incredibly bad for your health.
  • Leaky Pipes  If your home has leaky pipes, it’s probably because there is undetected water damage. If not repaired quickly, such pipes can cause water buildup in your walls, flooring, and other locations. Over time, it may result in structural damage.
  • Spike in Utility Costs  If your water bills have risen, and you’re unaware of what’s causing them, the reason might be undetected water damage. Similarly, when water seeps into insulation or building materials, there is a dysregulation of temperature, leading to higher energy bills.

Water Damage Categories

When dealing with water damage, we apply our restoration techniques according to the water damage categories. Here are the 3 categories of water damage–

Category 1: Clean Water

In this category, the water originates from a clean and sanitary source. The common sources of such water are overflowing sinks, melting ice, broken water supply lines, and uncontaminated rainwater. If you’re exposed to this water, there is no substantial risk as it’s free from contaminants. When restoring category A water damage, we dry the affected areas and repair damaged materials.

Category 2: Greywater

The gray water in this category is mildly contaminated and may lead to illness upon exposure. Gray water originates from sources like overflowing dishwashers or washing machines, broken aquariums, and toilet bowl leaks. Such water has contaminants like chemicals and microorganisms. To clean up category B water damage, we conduct thorough sanitation and disinfection of the affected areas. In cases where we cannot properly dry the materials (like carpet padding), we replace them.

Category 3: Blackwater

In this category, the water is extremely contaminated, and upon exposure to it, you may face significant health risk reactions. Black water contains harmful toxins, pathogens, and hazardous materials. The common sources of black water are sewer-damaged water, seawater, and toilet water. When restoring a category C water damage, we take extensive safety precautions. We remove all affected cosmetic materials like insulation, hardwood flooring, drywall, carpet padding, carpet, and cushions.

  2. Older undiscovered water damage  10 to 14 days

To fully restore a water-damaged area, you must consider factors like the extent of damage, damage category, and the affected area size.

The term ‘water damage restoration’ refers to the process of fixing and restoring a water-damaged property. This process is extremely crucial if your building has suffered from water damage as a result of floods, leaks, sewage backups, or any other water-related disasters. With water damage restoration, you can fix the damage, prevent further damage in the future, and restore your home’s original condition.

The cost of water damage restoration jobs is impacted by factors such as the size of the affected area, material costs, labor costs, and location. Time is another factor; waiting to address water damage can allow carpet delamination, mold growth, and moisture to spread to other rooms or further up drywall. Depending on your policy’s coverage, insurance may help pay for some or all of the water damage restoration. If your home is experiencing water damage, contact our team as quickly as possible to limit both the extent of the repairs and the cost.
