Standing water in your home or building is a frustrating sight. Indoor flooding requires a major cleanup effort and if it is not addressed right away, it can lead to serious damage, including structural damage and mold growth. The reason indoor flooding is so dangerous is because the flood water quickly spreads through the surrounding porous materials, including building materials like wood and drywall and furnishings. If you find flooding within your property, you need to call our professionals immediately.
At RestorationMaster, we provide flood damage restoration to help flooded homes and businesses in Kailua-Kona, HI and the surrounding areas of Hawaii County. Our technicians will bring calm to the situation by forming a complete restoration plan and keeping you informed at every step of the process. We can remove the flood water with advanced water extraction equipment and ensure that your property is thoroughly dried and restored.
Dangers of Indoor Flooding
The amount of water involved in indoor flooding can cause serious property damage. This is because the water will spread through porous materials including carpeting, subflooring, wood, drywall, insulation, and other furnishings. The materials that absorb water may become stained, rotted, and warped which can lead to major structural damage.
Mold is another common issue caused by flooding as mold growth can appear anywhere there is a source of moisture. Wet surfaces and materials are highly vulnerable to mold growth and when mold takes hold, it can increase the risk of structural damage and make the area unsafe. You should avoid the flooded area if there is mold growth to prevent health issues from exposure.
Not all flooded water is clean water as you must consider the possibility that the standing water in your property is contaminated with sewage, waste, or debris. Contaminated water causes significant damage much faster because the porous materials absorb the waste with the water. It is very important to react to contaminated water immediately and keep the area clear to protect your health and safety.
