When you experience water damage in your home or business from a leaky foundation, roof leaks, burst pipes, valve failures, sewer back-up, drainage problems, or floodwater, you naturally want to get things back to normal as quickly as possible.

When your home starts filling with water, it will quickly soak through walls, flooring, furniture, and anything it comes in contact with. Even if you vacuum up all the standing water, it is likely that water/contaminants have seeped into your floors, walls, cabinets, baseboards, heating/AC duct-work, and crawlspace. If not handled properly, it can quickly become a bigger problem.

If the water damage is caused by sewage or other contaminated water (to include floodwater), it has the potential to cause severe illness due to the release of dangerous bacteria and viruses.

Mold Growth is One of the Worst Outcomes of Water Damage

Mold thrives in dark, humid areas, which can make it hard to spot. If left unchecked, it can grow to dangerous levels and cause major health issues.
