Most property damage that occurs in a home or building is the result of excess water or moisture. Just about every home is vulnerable to excess water from rain, floods, or humidity as well as burst pipes, leaking appliances, overflows, or sewage backups. Once water gets into your home, it penetrates absorbent building materials and spreads further and deeper which increases the risk of major structural damage and mold growth.
It is important to have the water damage contained right away to limit its spread and potential damage. RestorationMaster provides flood cleanup services to contain and remove excess water from homes and businesses in Laurel, MS. Our technicians use advanced water extraction and drying equipment to extract water absorbed by affected building materials and furnishings.
Professional Water Damage Cleanup
The ability of excess water to spread through porous building materials such as wood, insulation, flooring, and drywall make it potentially dangerous. Water will slowly get absorbed in these materials and cause them to become discolored and weakened which leads to serious structural damage. The other major danger with water damage is the increased risk of mold growth.
The presence of excess moisture creates conditions that attract mold colonies which will make the property damage worse while increasing the risk of related health effects including allergies and infection. The sooner you address water damage issues, the less likely you are to experience serious structural damage or mold growth.
