What Causes Water Damage in Ruston Homes

Severe Weather and Heavy Rainfall

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

Foundation Cracks and Seepage

Saturated soil presses water through cracks in foundation walls or the slab, soaking lower floors.

Overflowing Bathtubs or Toilets

A clogged toilet or a tub left running can send gallons of water across floors and into the rooms nearby.

Sewer Line Backups or Blockages

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

Burst or Leaking Supply Lines

High water pressure, corrosion or a loose fitting can make a pipe fail and release water fast.

Yes. Sewage carries bacteria and viruses, and cleanup needs protective gear, disinfectants and containment.
