Damage Restoration Manassas VA | Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling

In Manassas, the most common cause is burst pipes from freeze-thaw cycles during winter. When water freezes inside pipes, it expands and can cause a rupture, leading to a sudden flood that soaks into drywall. Coastal flood damage, though less frequent, can also occur during heavy rainstorms that overwhelm drainage systems. Additionally, plumbing leaks from aging fixtures or improper installation can cause slow, hidden drywall damage.

After water damage, mold can develop within 24–48 hours. Look for visible spots (black, green, or white) on drywall or baseboards, a musty odor, or warping and discoloration of walls. You might also notice increased allergy symptoms like sneezing or itchy eyes. If you had a burst pipe or flood, check behind furniture and in closets where moisture can linger. Paul Davis offers mold remediation to safely remove growth and prevent recurrence.
