Floods, toilet overflows, sewer backup.

These events are often the first situations people think of when home water damage is mentioned.

From the professionals at Flood Pro, located in Aliso VIejo, here are three items to keep your eye out to avoid needing water damage cleanup:TreesSure, it’s the quintessential scene in all disaster movies, where a poorly located tree is caught in a terrible wind and rain storm, and ends up crashing into some power lines, cutting off all electricity to somehow the entire city.

Additionally, some trees simply grow right into pipelines, and that root can begin to rot into the water system.

Toxic water is already an issue, but as soon as you have a flood, that water is extremely dangerous.

Unfortunately, clogged gutters cannot function properly, and the water simply glides over the top of whatever isn’t cleaned out, such as leaves and twigs.
