RestorationMaster
Whether dealing with a leak or a flood, water damage is a serious issue that requires immediate action. The reason water damage is so destructive is because moisture gets absorbed in porous building materials and furnishings like drywall, flooring, wood, insulation, and others. This causes damage to the affected materials and allows the water to spread over a larger area. In time, the damage to the affected materials can ruin their structural integrity and put them at risk for mold growth. It is important to act fast when water damage occurs to stop its spread.
At RestorationMaster, we provide complete water damage restoration services to respond to flooding, leaks, and other forms of water damage in Santa Clarita, CA. Our technicians will ensure that all water and moisture is removed using advanced water extraction and drying equipment. We will then repair and decontaminate the affected areas to restore safe living conditions.
If you have experienced water damage in your home, don’t wait to get help! If the water sits for too long the damage only gets worse. Call a professional today at (626) 415-3677 to see if restoration services are needed for your flood cleanup.
Damage Caused by Water and Flooding
It is important to understand how water can cause damage in your home or building so you can help prevent widespread damage when a leak or flood occurs. Building materials like wood, drywall, carpeting, insulation, and furnishings are porous which means they will absorb excess water. The more water these materials take in, the more likely they are to experience severe damage. For materials like wood and drywall, absorbing too much water can threaten the structural integrity of the building.
The other danger with water damage is the potential for mold or bacteria growth. Wet building materials are at risk for mold and bacteria because these substances thrive in moist conditions. Materials affected by mold and bacteria are likely to become permanently damaged and their presence puts your health at risk.
