Water Damage Related Info

While it is common to experience water damage as it can be derived from many sources. Whether caused by leaking pipes, blocked gutters, or a malfunctioning water heater, some cases of water damage will only result in a small puddle and can be cleaned easily. In other cases, flooding can occur from pipe bursts, rainstorms, and sewage backup. As many building materials within the home are porous, such as wood, insulation, and drywall, they are at risk for not only additional water damage, but mold growth.
