Water Damage Restoration

Even if you’re inside your home, it’s possible for rain and stormy conditions to get you wet. Occasionally, the exterior of your home doesn’t do its job to protect you from the elements, and the roof or foundation leaks. This often happens when we aren’t expecting it, or when we need it most of all, like during a storm or rainy weather.

The Rainy Season Means Business

During the recent series of rainstorms, we received numerous calls. The individuals calling were irritated. We had emergency teams working nonstop, assisting those whose buildings had suffered water damage from the recent storms. Results tended to be varied – some people only had water in their attics, others had a carpeted area that was damp. However, not every caller was so fortunate.

In some cases, roofs failed, letting water into the entire home and soaking the contents. Floors were drenched, carpeting was soaked, and the walls were soaked through. In these situations, the entire home could have been totaled, with the water damage alone making them dangerous to live in.

More than Only Water

It’s easy to think that just having a home flooded is bad enough. However, water damage last far longer than the time water is pouring into the house. Ran damage can affect the building for a long period of time, if not forever if it isn’t thoroughly cleaned quickly. The immediate water damage is just the start.

It only takes a few hours for your home to soak up quite a bit of water. This water can damage the floors, stairs, carpets, walls, furniture, and electrical system of the home – essentially anything that is in the water’s way stands a chance of being ruined.

If the problem isn’t handled for over a day, it gets far worse. It started out as merely water damage, which would require the water to be extracted and some repairs, but after a day or so it becomes a much larger issue. Mold and mildew will begin to grow, because of the humid conditions in the area. The humidity soaks deep into the building, causing mold to grow throughout the house, even in hidden areas. Any water that is left standing stagnates as well, becoming an ongoing health hazard.
