Water damage can happen in any home and has many different potential causes. Heavy storms and flooding, leaky pipes, and clogs can all be sources of water damage. If water enters your home, one of the most important things you can do is act quickly.
- Prevent Structural Damage. As soon as a leak starts, it can spread. This can not only impact the objects in your home, but your home’s structure as well. Depending on the source of the water, it may soak into walls, ceilings, and flooring. This can cause swelling in drywall and window frames, as well as causing paint or wallpaper to blister. If you have noticed water damage in your home, contacting repair services as soon as possible can prevent the issue from getting worse.
- Curb Mold Growth. Mold can take hold quickly and thrives in damp environments. Water damage is an extremely common cause of mold, and if not addressed as soon as possible, mold can start to form. Once mold develops, it may spread to other parts of your home not impacted by the water damage. Calling for repair services can take care of existing mold and stop it from spreading further.
