Water damage poses safety and health risks
Water damage always seems to happen at the most inconvenient times. You may be tempted to take matters into your own hands and try a quick cleanup of the water damage yourself, but in the end, you could be leaving behind remnants of the flooding behind that can fester and breed bigger problems for your home or business, including serious health risks.
Water damage creates the risk of many issues. Mildew, mold and harmful bacteria growth from water damage create health risks and an unhealthy environment. Water damage can also affect the very structure of your home and create bigger and far more costly problems down the road. Water damage can seep through and damage your home’s foundation, ceiling, walls and flooring, even furniture and other belongings or valuables.
