Water damage is always a leading cause of property damage because there are many ways it can start, and it can cause pervasive damage if ignored. The most common sources of water damage include leaks and seepage of rain, natural floods, burst pipes, appliance leaks, and sewage backups. The excess water and moisture from these sources will seep into the surrounding materials including flooring and drywall and spread out, causing more extensive damage. The materials that absorb this water may become discolored, weakened, or rotted, and they are it risk for mold growth.
It is important to react to water damage as soon as you find it, or the water will continue to spread and cause additional damage.

Our technicians can remove standing water and moisture using advanced equipment and we will clean and restore the damaged areas. We are also equipped to safely handle the removal of sewage and contaminated water.
Effects of Water Damage
The porous nature of most building materials found in homes and commercial buildings is why water damage can spread so easily through a property. Wood, drywall, carpeting, insulation, and furnishings can absorb water and each of these materials will become damaged as they absorb more water. The affected materials may become stained or rotted and materials like wood and drywall can even lose their structural integrity. This can lead to serious structural damage.
Mold is another dangerous problem caused by water damage. The excess water and moisture create ideal conditions for mold spores to form into mold colonies. Mold growth on the affected materials will increase the risk of serious or permanent damage, as well as the risk of health effects for those who are exposed.
