Natural disasters don’t just damage structures; they also affect your property’s water system and compromise water safety. Even if the water looks clear, unseen contaminants may have infiltrated your plumbing, posing risks to health and appliances. Common contaminants found after a disaster:
Damaged Water Lines
Cracks or breaks allow contaminants to enter clean water supplies.
Bacteria and Viruses
Floodwater and sewage overflow introduce harmful bacteria and microorganisms.
Sediment and Debris
Soil, sand, and plant material can clog pipes and affect water clarity.
Chemical Pollutants
Storm runoff can carry pesticides, cleaning agents, or industrial chemicals.
Floodwater Intrusion
Polluted floodwater seeps into pipes and plumbing systems.
Pressure Imbalances
Sudden pressure changes pull outside contaminants into water lines.
