  1. 3 Reasons to Get Water Damage Cleaned Quickly

  2. INTRODUCTION Water damage is one of the leading causes of loss of property in the United States. Homeowners must be able to identify possible water damage and more importantly find experienced and certified professionals to assess the damage and restore their home. There are several dangers associated with water damage that can put the property and the residents at risk. Often the severity of water damage is underestimated leading to one of several unfortunate scenarios. Unfortunately, water damage cleanup is an inevitable part of owning a home for many of us. Whether the water is from a clogged floor drain, torrential rains, or plumbing mishaps, there are three reasons for immediate water removal.

  3. CLEANUP WATER FAST TO PREVENT MOLD The first is to prevent mold. This cannot be stressed enough, because there is a twenty-four to forty-eight-hour window before mold begins to grow, so water damage cleanup needs to be performed within that open window.

  4. CLEANUP WATER FAST TO PREVENT FOUNDATION DAMAGE The second reason is to prevent foundation damage. Standing water over time will break down concrete floors by weakening them in the center, so they must be kept dry.

  5. CLEANUP WATER FAST TO PREVENT VALUABLES ROTTING When wood is exposed to water for significant amounts of time it can begin to rot, damaging the structural integrity of a home. Many times large sections of affected wood must be replaced to prevent future collapses which can occur months or even years after the initial contact.

  6. CONCLUSION In conclusion, water damage can be a very serious issue for a variety of different reasons. Untreated damages can lead to the elevated expense of repair down the road or even total loss of property and investment as some damages are not covered by insurance. Damages can bring with them unforeseen health risks that can range in severity based on the category of water. For many people, a home is the largest investment they will make. Homeowners must protect their investment and call in an expert at the first sign of water damage. Homes can often be replaced but families cannot. It is also vital that homeowners not put the health of their families at risk by trying to categorize and assess the dangers of household disasters themselves. Calling a certified water damage restoration expert is the safest way to go about restoring one home after a disaster has occurred. Don't take chances with your home or your health, call in an expert, it might just be the most important call you ever make.
