Our local Buena Park team is trained and certified to restore storm damage in Buena Park. A high water bill can be a symptom of storm damage, particularly if leaks or plumbing system damage due to the storm. Here's how storm damage can lead to a high water bill:

Burst Pipes: Severe storms, strong winds, or hail can cause pipes to crack or burst. Water can leak out continuously when pipes burst until the issue is resolved. This ongoing leakage can significantly increase water usage, leading to a higher-than-usual water bill.

Roof Damage: Storms can damage roofs, leading to leaks that allow rainwater to enter the home. These leaks can saturate insulation, ceilings, and walls and even penetrate the plumbing system if these leaks go undetected. As a result, water can seep into pipes and cause increased water usage, reflected in a higher water bill.

Foundation Damage: Heavy storm rainfall can saturate the soil around a home's foundation, leading to cracks or shifts. If the foundation is compromised, it can stress the plumbing system, causing pipes to crack or break. This can result in water leakage and higher water usage, leading to a spike in water bills.
