When you live in a town with a football stadium called The Swamp, it should come as no surprise that there’s a high risk of water damage in the area. Water damage in Gainesville, FL can be devastating to both businesses and homes alike. Caused by everything from hurricanes and thunderstorms to plumbing issues, roof leaks, and malfunctioning appliances, it can happen to anyone at any time.
