The longer that water sits in your home, the more havoc it will wreak on its structure and your possessions. Here are a few dangers caused by water damage that many homeowners don't notice until it's too late.
1. Mold: Mold begins growing with in the first 72 hours after a water loss. Mold can render porous items such as furniture, clothing, paper, drywall, unsealed wood, and much more unsalvageable. Mold remediation can be costly and often not completely covered by insurance policies.
- Structural Problems: The weight of water is enough to put stress on your home's foundation, flooring, and walls and cause the need for extensive repairs. We're careful to extract as much moisture as possible when restoring homes with water damage.
3. Electrical Dangers-Water, wiring, and appliances are never a good combination, and water emergencies often cause major appliances to malfunction or pose electrical hazards. Having your home thoroughly assessed and inspected is the best safety measure to take once water damage has occurred.
4. Hazardous Materials-Water damage is often accompanied by dangerous debris, such as contaminated plaster and materials with lead. Our team is well equipped to repair your home in addition to removing any hazards.
