The water is classed as clean, gray or black, which sets the cleanup method and protective gear.

A blocked AC drain line makes the drain pan overflow, leaking water into walls or ceilings.

Faulty or Clogged Gutters

Gutters that overflow or pull loose dump water right beside the foundation, where it can seep in.

Foundation Cracks and Seepage

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

Burst or Leaking Supply Lines

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

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