When it comes to water damage restoration, response time is key. The longer water is allowed to remain, the more damage can be done. Not only do your walls and floors rapidly degrade with water damage, but they then become the perfect environment for mold growth, adding to your overall dilemma and putting those within the dwelling at risk for serious health issues. This is why hiring our water damage restoration team in Radnor, PA comes into play. We are a true 24-hour emergency response water damage restoration company, always on call, no matter the time or date. The technicians at MSI are experts in handling flooding and the problems that can arise as a result of water on any property. Each of our services is performed only by IICRC certified technicians who know precisely how to achieve guaranteed results. Any company can claim to perform dry-outs, as visible evidence of water or sewage flooding can be removed on a surface level with a few fans and basic tools. The problem with this approach is that water often quickly finds its way into areas where it remains unseen. This hidden water damage then continues to wreak havoc on your property and create health issues for your family and/or employees. Only a certified technician applying exact scientific standards and precision tools can ensure that all of the water has been removed and structurally dried so that it will not create more issues in the future.

The Most Common Types of Property Flooding
There are several ways properties in Radnor, PA can take on water, and the degree of water can directly change the scope of water mitigation. Clean water is certainly mitigated differently than sewage, and understanding the most common types of house flooding can help you know the steps needed to perform proper water damage restoration.
Sewage Losses
Sewer flooding is more common in older homes with faulty septic systems or clogged and/or compromised drainage lines. This kind of flooding can often be prevented by scheduling regular maintenance on your septic system and not using items that cannot be flushed into your plumbing system. Flushable wipes claim they can be flushed, but these wipes often clog plumbing, causing backups.
Basement Flooding
A common way basements flood is through hydrostatic water pressure, which is water rising up through the floor. Perimeter drainage systems or proper grading may help, but this persistent leaking into homes can cause structural issues over time and lead to rapid mold growth due to wet building materials and high levels of humidity.
Flash Floods
When heavy rainfall causes a fast rise of rapid-moving water that sweeps everything in its path, They usually cover a relatively small area and occur with little to no notice, generally less than 6 hours. The rapid water torrents can move large objects, such as cars, rocks, and trees.
River Floods
Fluvial floods are characterized by gradual riverbank, lake, or stream overflows caused by extensive rainfall or snowmelt over an extended period of time. The areas covered by river floods depend on the size of the river and the amount of rainfall. River floods rarely result in the loss of lives but can cause dams and dikes to break, creating immense economic damage.
Coastal Flooding
Coast floods are caused by strong winds or storms that move towards a coast during high tide, causing sea levels to rise. These floods usually arise with storm surges related to tropical storms, hurricanes, and tsunamis. When powerful waves breach the coast’s dune or dike, the area will be flooded. Coastal areas with fewer defenses and lower elevations are the most affected.
