Homes and buildings can experience property damage from any amount of water but standing flood water can cause the most damage. Whether the indoor flooding was caused by natural flooding, a burst pipe, or a sewage backup, the water can quickly cause damage to the surrounding building materials and furnishings including structural damage and mold growth. It is important for flood water to be removed right away and for the affected areas and materials to be properly dried to prevent severe damage.
RestorationMasterprovides flood damage cleanup in Lakewood, NJ to remove standing flood water from homes and businesses. We use water extraction and drying equipment to remove the water and dry the affected areas, and we will also restore the resulting damage.
Property Damage from Flooding
Standing water indoors can cause serious damage if it is not quickly removed. One of the potential problems with indoor flooding is that it can damage to the surrounding building materials and furnishings. Drywall, wood, flooring, carpeting, and other common household materials are porous and can experience warping and rotting as they absorb flood water. If these materials take on too much water, major structural damage can result.
Mold is another potential issue caused by flooding as mold tends to appear in areas affected by water damage. The materials affected by the flooding are at high risk for mold growth which will increase the damage and create unhealthy conditions. Exposure to mold can result in allergic reactions and infections in extreme cases.
If your home or building is flooded, you also have to consider the possibility that the water could contain sewage. The presence of sewage makes the situation more dangerous as the affected materials are more likely to become permanently damaged and there are harmful elements in the sewage that can threaten your health. If you suspect that the flooding on your property contains sewage, stay away from the area, and call our professionals for help immediately.

We will then set up drying and dehumidification equipment to extract the remaining moisture from the affected materials.
