6/4/2023 (Permalink)

The biggest concern with water damage is its potential to cause extensive and long-lasting damage to both the structure of a building and its contents
Structural damage: Water can weaken the structural integrity of a building by seeping into walls, floors, and foundations.
Damage to belongings:Water can ruin personal belongings, including furniture, carpets, electronics, documents, and sentimental items
Mold and mildew growth: Moisture from water damage creates an ideal environment for mold and mildew growth
Health risks: Water damage can introduce contaminants and pollutants into the environment, such as bacteria, sewage, chemicals, or harmful substances from construction materials.
Electrical hazards: Water can come into contact with electrical systems and equipment, posing a significant risk of electric shock or fire.
Increased repair costs and insurance implications: The longer water damage goes unnoticed or untreated, the more extensive and costly the repairs become.
