Water damage is one of the most common and potentially destructive problems you can face as a property owner. Whether resulting from a flood, structural, plumbing leaks or water used in fire suppression, water can cause untold damage to property in a short amount of time and also carries with it the long-term dangers of mold contamination, rot and insect infestation.
It is a common misbelief that the problem is solved solely by removing the visible excess water. When water damage happens, moisture gets absorbed into the flooring and walls which will then intrude into hard-to-reach places. These wet spaces are a welcoming and perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow. Mold colonies can form in less than 48 hours! Mildew degrades the indoor air quality and can cause allergy outbreaks. Contaminated water, such as, from a toilet overflow or sewage backup, poses health risks due to the development of harmful bacteria
To mitigate these potential health risks and avoid further damage, we advise you to call a water restoration company within the first 24 to 48 hours.
