Water can be one of the most damaging elements to your home because of its ability to get into hidden places. Once there, mold can develop, causing harm to drywall, furniture, clothes, decorations, wood floors, and more. If you don’t get remediation services from professionals like Clean Air Restoration, the water can cause structural damage to your house, costing you more money and forcing you to be displaced from your home for a lengthier amount of time. The longer you let it stand, the less likely insurance is to cover those costs, so seeking professional remediation immediately is key. The mold left behind from water damage can also cause harm to you and your family by aggravating allergies and causing other respiratory problems.

Builders utilize wood in many aspects of your home, including support beams and flooring, and a majority of your furniture uses wood. Water can cause wood to swell, crack, break, and, worst of all, rot. If it rots, the structural support of your home may fail, and the house could even collapse if this is neglected. The furniture you love could lose its structural integrity and your once-beautiful wood floors can warp and split. To avoid this, it is imperative that water remediation experts are called to the job as soon as possible.

Water damage won’t hide from you. There will be very noticeable problems with your home, furniture, and flooring to let you know you have water damage that needs to be taken care of quickly to prevent or remove mold that is already growing. You will notice dark spots on walls and ceilings, which will start flaking and cracking. You will also begin to smell mold, as it leaves a musty smell in the home. If you start to notice it is more humid in the house, it is more than likely due to dampness in a new area of the home. It’s always a good idea to check pipes for leaks to help get them stopped quickly, saving you money and time. Your wood floors will start to warp where they meet cabinet fixtures or walls and can even get to the point of cracking if left alone for too long.
