Water damage arises from many different sources for many different reasons. Whether from fire damage, broken pipes, blocked drains, malfunctioning appliances, storms or another cause, the appropriate treatment depends on the nature of the damage. Some water carries contaminants and should be considered hazardous immediately. Whatever the origin, the prospects of restoration depend largely on the speed with which your building and personal property can be dried. Even clear water can generate mildew and other bacterial growth if neglected.
The longer the area remains wet, the higher the likelihood of significant water damage and an increased economic burden. It is important to have a professional immediately respond and cleanup water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours.
If someone does not clean up the water within 1 to 2 days, there is a high chance that mold growth will occur. If mold is left unattended, it can then affect the air quality of the indoor environment. Unseen particles of bacteria, disease causing fungi, mold, mildew and asbestos lead can be released into the air. Other health hazards include danger from electrical shocks, slipping and personal injury, and the possibility of sewage backup. MAKE NO MISTAKE: EVERY SECOND COUNTS!
