Water Damage Restoration

It depends on a number of conditions, but portions of your home exposed to water or moisture should dry in around five days. It can take as little as two days to dry an area, and it might take up to many weeks.

Mold, electrical dangers, rotting, and corrosion can all be caused by water getting into your frame materials, insulation, and drywall. Wall water damage, ironically, can cause fires due to electrical damage.

Restoration contractors may come in and remove the water and dry up the affected area with vacuums and huge fans, as well as cleanse the area and repair any damaged walls, floors, ceilings, or items.

Water damage refers to a variety of losses caused by water intruding into a material or system, allowing destructive processes such as rotting of wood, mold growth, bacteria growth, rusting of steel, swelling of composite woods, de-lamination of materials such as plywood, and so on to attack the material or system.

Here are a few things to check for in order to spot indicators of water damage:

1. Cracking, Bubbling, or Flaking

2. Pooling Water or Puddles

3. Running Water Sounds

4. Increase in Utility Bills

5. Damp, Musty, or Moldy Smell
