Water Damage Related Info
Water damage is one of the most common types of damage that is withstood by homes and buildings. This is because it can be derived from numerous sources, including burst pipes, sewer backups, flooding, heavy rainstorms, and more. While some types of water damages are more significant than others, all types must be treated right away. Once the building materials have become wet, the water can spread through the pores such as in drywall or paint. This is not to mention the fact that the water contains bacteria, allowing the potential for mold growth to occur in the future. However, RestorationMaster has advanced equipment guaranteed to extract the water from the affected area while removing excess moisture within the room.
Water Restoration
While a small amount of water is easy to clean up, larger amounts that are left untreated will begin to deteriorate their affected surfaces. Porous materials, including sheetrock (drywall), insulation, fabrics, subfloors, carpeting etc. are especially prone to damage. They can cause discoloration, cracks, and deterioration over time if they are not treated properly. In addition, these conditions create the perfect breeding ground for mold and other types of bacteria to start growing. Be sure to exercise extreme caution in these cases as these dangerous fungi can disperse their spores if disturbed, causing negative health effects for you and your family.
