Water Damage Restoration
Water damage can lead to a multitude of problems and often necessitates professional intervention for safe and thorough restoration. Water damage can stem from various sources, including broken water pipes, overflowing toilets or washing machines, sump pump backups, river flooding, leaking roofs, or frozen water spigots.
Common Causes of Water Damage
- Broken Water Pipes: A burst or broken pipe can cause extensive water damage in a short period.
- Overflowing Toilets or Washing Machines: Malfunctions or blockages can lead to significant overflow, causing water damage.
- Sump Pump Failures: When sump pumps fail, especially during heavy rain, it can result in basement flooding.
- River Flooding: Natural disasters and heavy rains can cause rivers to overflow, leading to widespread water damage.
- Leaking Roofs: Over time, roofs can develop leaks, allowing water to seep into your home.
- Frozen Water Spigots: In cold climates, water spigots can freeze and burst, leading to water damage.
Extended Problems Beyond Water Extraction
Addressing water damage involves more than just removing standing water. If surfaces are not adequately dried, several secondary issues can arise:
- Mold Growth: Mold can develop rapidly in damp environments, posing health risks and structural damage.
- Carpet and Padding Damage: Water-soaked carpets and padding can become breeding grounds for mold and mildew.
- Air Quality Deterioration: Dampness and mold can significantly impact indoor air quality, leading to respiratory issues.
