Common Urgent Water Damage Issues

Not all water damage situations can wait until morning. Call for emergency service immediately if you're experiencing any of the following:

Sudden flooding from storms or river overflow. Murphysboro's location in the Mississippi River watershed means flash flooding and river rise events can happen with little warning, especially during spring rains and summer thunderstorms. Water can enter crawl spaces, basements, and ground floors rapidly.

Burst or frozen pipes. When temperatures drop across Southern Illinois, unprotected pipes in older Murphysboro homes can freeze and rupture, releasing hundreds of gallons of water in minutes.

Sewer backups and contaminated water. These pose serious health risks and require specialized cleanup with proper protective equipment and disinfection protocols.

Water from extinguishing fires. The water used to save your property can cause secondary damage to walls, flooring, and electrical systems if not addressed promptly.

Roof leaks and storm damage. High winds and hail common to Jackson County can compromise roofing, allowing water to saturate attic spaces and drip through ceilings.
