Sewer Line Backups or Blockages

Tree roots, debris or an overloaded city sewer can push contaminated water back up into the house.

A broken underground irrigation line soaks the soil around the house, and that water can seep inside.

Appliance Malfunctions and Failures

Water heaters, washing machines and dishwashers leak or overflow when hoses wear out or parts fail.

Roof Leaks From Damaged Shingles

Missing, cracked or aging roofing lets rain into the attic and then the ceilings below.

Severe Weather and Heavy Rainfall

Driving rain can push water past roofs, windows and foundations and flood rooms inside.
