In <\/span><span id=\"E80\">the<\/span><span id=\"E81\"> Kitchen-<\/span><span id=\"E82\"> <\/span><span id=\"E83\">Flood damage can be caused by more than mother nature<\/span><span id=\"E84\">;<\/span><span id=\"E85\"> in fact, it can be caused by your dishwasher, refrigerator<\/span><span id=\"E86\">, <\/span><span id=\"E87\">sinks, <\/span><span id=\"E88\">and pipes that are in your kitchen. Water is running in your kitchen frequently<\/span><span id=\"E89\">,<\/span><span id=\"E90\"> with the average person using the kitchen water eight to ten times per day. This makes your kitchen a very vulnerable place for water damage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E91\"><span id=\"E92\">2. <\/span><span id=\"E93\">In <\/span><span id=\"E94\">the<\/span><span id=\"E95\"> Basement-<\/span><span id=\"E96\"> <\/span><span id=\"E97\">Your basement is vulnerable to needing flood damage cleanup for a few different reasons. The most obvious is when your sump pump fails and backs up into the basement. Sump pumps can fail during storms also<\/span><span id=\"E98\">,<\/span><span id=\"E99\"> which is when your basement is most at risk. Some foundations or basement windows can leak or break during storms<\/span><span id=\"E100\">,<\/span><span id=\"E101\"> and <\/span><span id=\"E102\">flooding can occur. <\/span><span id=\"E103\">If your water heater is in the basement this appliance can be another source of flooding from things like a loose drain valve or crack in the tank. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E104\"><span id=\"E105\">3. In the Bathroom-<\/span><span id=\"E106\"> There are a lot of plumbing pipes that run through your bathroom<\/span><span id=\"E107\">,<\/span><span id=\"E108\"> and if these pipes burst i<\/span><span id=\"E109\">t<\/span><span id=\"E110\"> can cause flooding and water damage in your bathroom and beyond. Bathtubs, toilets, and sinks overflowing is another common source of flooding that you could end up needing flood damage cleanup <\/span><span id=\"E111\">professionals to remedy. <\/span><span id=\"E112\">Your toilet can also flood due to <\/span><span id=\"E114\">loose<\/span><span id=\"E116\"> connections, cracked bowls or tanks, or if the flange sealant is missing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E117\"><span id=\"E118\">4. The Attic\/Roof-<\/span><span id=\"E119\"> When your roof is leaking<\/span><span id=\"E120\">,<\/span><span id=\"E121\"> you can end up with flood damage in the attic<\/span><span id=\"E122\">,<\/span><span id=\"E125\"> which can seep through the ceilings and walls, causing damage to <\/span><span id=\"E126\">many areas of your roof. <\/span><span id=\"E127\">Roof leaks can be caused by storms, ventilation system <\/span><span id=\"E128\">damage, separated decking, and missing flashing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E129\"><span id=\"E130\">If you find yourself in need of flood damage clean up, give <\/span><a id=\"E131\" contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.servicemasterofcharleston.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span id=\"E132\"
