Flooding of any type, can be troublesome, water leaks from refrigerators can cause damage that may go unseen for a long time and cause serious damage the floors underneath the refrigerator. Busted hoses on washing machines can flood a room in a matter of minutes causing water damage to carpets, walls, and connecting rooms. The worst type of flooding comes from things such as hurricanes, tropical storms, and heavy rainfalls especially mixed with snowmelt.

The reason I say this is, rivers, lakes, and other types of waterways can be polluted and as they surge, they will continue to pick up debris from homes and streets, pesticides from yards, and raw sewage.
