If your bathroom floods. Call SERVPRO of South Shasta County 24/7 at 530-241-2424.

It is not uncommon for plumbing to get occasionally backed up. However, nobody wants to come home to a flooded bathroom, hallway, bedroom or living room because of a flood in the bathroom. 

Common causes for bathroom floods are

1. Human error. Sometimes distractions cause us to forget to turn off the bathroom faucet or bath tub. It can be as simple as a knock at the door and OOPS! 
2. Clogged toilets can cause water to back up and over flow the toilet. Sometimes waste water with feces and toilet paper may flood into the bathroom. 
3. Broken toilet supply line or loose toilet supply line. Be sure your supply line fits properly and secure. 
4. Broken pipe under the sink. This can more often than people think. 
5. Hair or other debris caught in the drain. Animal and human hair can clog your drains and toilets. 

If you have a flood in your house call a plumber first to help stop the problem. Then call SERVPRO of South Shasta County. We will clean up debris, dry out wet areas and repair any damage caused from the water damage.
