Local Expert in Long Island for Water Damage Prevention

Hurricanes and floods are not the only traumatic events that cause water damage. Pinhole-sized leaks in pipes, improperly graded soil, clogged gutters, or a sump pump that won’t work are all common causes of property damage. However, many water damage incidents are caused by fixable defects that most DIY-ers may take care of before they become an issue.

A home’s water damage could be disastrous. Even a moderate leak, if left unattended, will eventually undermine important structural components like joists and beams, rot away drywall and studs, and produce black mold which would require immediate mold removal services. So the easiest way to stop water damage leak before the first drop of waterfalls is to stop them.

The most frequent clog-causing substances are tree leaves, weeds, ice, and sludge. Since most individuals don’t like to clean their gutters, debris builds up and clogs the drains. Water collects in the obstruction when the channels become clogged, and the extra water begins to overflow close to the house’s structural elements, harming them. Additionally, with mold growth and an unpleasant odor, this water may pool in the basement of your home. If your sump pump installation is faulty, this can also be a cause of leakage.

Your home’s water appliances, such as old water heaters and malfunctioning washers, might result in water damage. The inadequate water connections and hoses that connect to the appliances are to blame for the equipment’s malfunction.

According to our water damage restoration specialists, the water connections’ flaws cause the water to pour and pool on the floor, harming it.

We will help prevent water damage to your property by making the following checks and adding solutions.

We will send water through your gutters to ensure your downspouts are functioning properly. Then, we will add a 90-degree downspout elbow and extension to take the water at least two feet away from your house and unclog them if the water isn’t flowing properly and may provide you with water damage cleaning services, depending on the extent of damage.

Roof systems and basements can leak in various ways, even without massive water damage. So we’ll examine weak areas and waterproof them before any harm occurs. Shingles and joints that may allow water to flow into the house are particularly susceptible.

A pipe that gathers and conducts water is known as a French Drain. Excess water is collected and drained from the affected region through a large, perforated pipe buried in the ground. The pipe is angled downward to ensure smooth drainage and is covered with gravel or rock to make it invisible. We will install a new drain system if your current one is damaged. French drains are also ideal for offering basement flooding protection. The French drain Installation also helps in water damage cleaning as it keeps dirt and debris away from the foundation of your home.
