Most common causes of water damage

Often when you see water damage situations on the television news they are caused by disasters of major proportions. Hurricanes and river floods are two sources that immediately come to mind. Did you know, however, that water damage to structures (buildings) and their contents (items not part of the actual structures) is most often caused by leaking appliances, frozen pipes, sewage backups and excessive rainfall? It’s a fact that water damage can strike anyone at anytime.
