Water is the cause of more cases of property damage than anything else. Your home or building can be affected by excess water as a result of wet weather conditions like heavy rain and flooding, or problems inside the building like plumbing leaks, overflows, burst pipes, or sewage backups. Water damage is dangerous because the water can spread deep into porous building materials which will result in major damage and possibly mold growth.
RestorationMaster provides water and flood damage restoration services in Hattiesburg, MS to stop the spread of the water and restore the resulting damage. We can thoroughly remove standing water and moisture from the affected areas with our state-of-the-art water extraction and drying equipment.
Damage Caused by Water and Floods
Homes and commercial buildings consist of many building materials that are absorbent including flooring, drywall, wood, insulation, and others. These materials allow water to pass through them, and as a result, they may become warped, swollen, discolored, or weakened, which can lead to extensive structural damage.
Water damage also leads to mold growth in most cases because mold tends to grow in environments with a lot of moisture. Mold not only adds to the damage, but also introduces the risk of negative health effects. It is best to react to water damage immediately to prevent the excess water from spreading too far into the home or building.
Our expert technicians at RestorationMaster are experienced in dealing with water damage and we can remove excess water in any scenario from leaks to major floods. Once we remove the bulk of the water with our water extraction equipment, we set up air movers and dehumidifiers throughout the affected area to remove the remaining excess moisture. Our technicians will then cleanup and restore the damaged area.
