Water damage in your Tennessee home occurs when excess water starts to pool where it shouldn't. Several factors can make this excess water, and therefore, contribute to damage to your structure. When you know the potential causes, you can take precautionary steps to help you avoid water loss. You can also spot an issue once it arises and gets it fixed before it has a chance to do additional damage.

The faster you see a problem, the less work and extraction there are. Either way, water cleanup needs to be done in your Tennessee home, and you should hire the help of a professional remediation company to do the job. SERVPRO staff is available to help you at any time with the experience and knowledge that you would expect from a reputable company.

A common cause of water damage in your home is broken hoses and pipes. Things such as aging pipes, a burst water main, or ice maker supply lines, and washing machine supply hoses that fail certainly ruin your day. It is a good idea to purchase copper pipes and braided metal lines to replace the original ones, as they hold up much better so you can avoid accidents.

SERVPRO technicians can help you get your home dry and back in its usual condition no matter what has happened. We have various tools to help extract water, including moisture meters and sensors to find any hidden moisture, truck-mounted pumps to get rid of any standing water over a few inches deep. Additionally, we have air movers dehumidifiers to dry everything back out. SERVPRO of Montgomery County works promptly to avoid additional damage to your structure, such as mold growth.

Another common reason for water damage in your home includes broken toilets and overflowing bathtubs. Children are big culprits, so your best defense is to watch them! Water is fascinating to children, especially when it is flowing over the toilet and tub rims.

Sewer backups, unfortunately, happen as well. Tree roots can invade and clog your drain lines. Using an enzyme drain treatment to flush out your lines every month during the spring and summer months when tree roots grow the most is a good idea to avoid this kind of catastrophe.
