Causes of Water Damage

Water damage can happen at any time of year because the culprits are vast. Many people think of just flooding after a bad storm, but broken water lines, backed up sump pumps, and leaky roofs are a few other causes of water damage to your home or business. No matter what kind of water damage you have, it’s never a good thing. Taking care of it quickly and properly is the key to getting you dry and avoiding other nasty problems.

The Importance of Getting it Dry Professionally

Anything that has been saturated is at risk for mold. Depending on the weather and the environment where the water damage occurs, mold can show its ugly face in as little as 48 hours. This is why it’s extremely important to get it dry as soon as possible. The two stages it takes to get it dry are: 1.) Removing liquid water and 2.) Removing moisture from the air and building materials.

Sounds easy, right? Well, for a qualified professional yes, it is. The average Joe would not be very successful at removing the water and moisture thoroughly though. Normal dehumidifiers just won’t get the job done. Equipment like our commercial, high-performance dehumidifiers, air movers and other specialized equipment ensure that we dry the job to the proper Standard of Care, usually in 72 hours or less.
