Don’t Waste Time. Call Water Damage Restoration Experts

If you have ever dealt with water damage, then you have probably been told that ‘time is of the essence.’ If there is one thing you do not want working against you when working on water damage restoration, it is time. So, why is time such a big factor when it comes to water damage? 

Water Damage Restoration In Marietta

Here are just a few reasons why you do not want to waste any time when it comes to resolving water damage in your Marietta home:

• Water damages increase over time. The longer the water is present, the more damage the materials exposed to the water will sustain. As materials absorb water, they begin to expand, deteriorate, and rot. This can lead to irreparable damage and extensive repairs for not only your belongings but also the structural components of your home like sheetrock, door frames, and floor joists (just to name a few). 
• Mold can begin growing in as little as 24 hours after water has been introduced to an area. Mold thrives in damp environments, so if water damage restoration does not begin right away, mold will start to grow. Mold reproduces and spreads through spores, and spores can travel through the air. That means that mold will not only grow in the areas that sustained water damage, but can then spread throughout your home. Mold inhalation and exposure can cause a number of respiratory symptoms in those exposed to it. Coughing, sneezing, eye irritation, and headaches are just a few of the effects that can result from mold growing in the home. The best way to prevent a mold problem following water damage is to get the water removed and dried as quickly as possible. 
• Mold is not the only thing that can grow following water damage. When water is left standing in an area, it can begin to facilitate the growth of microorganisms. Standing water attracts insects and other creepy crawlers, and will degrade into highly contaminated water in just a few days’ time.  It is important not to put off water damage restoration so you can avoid any further contamination issues in your home.
• The restoration process is much quicker and less expensive the sooner it begins. If we can identify the source, get it stopped, and begin extracting the water as soon as possible, we can mitigate any further damages to your home and get the drying process underway. Drying is the longest step of water damage restoration because we want to ensure that no moisture is left behind. With the use of air movers, dehumidifiers, and moisture detection equipment, we can ensure that thorough drying is achieved. Once everything is completely dried, necessary repairs and replacements can be made, and then your home can be put back together. The sooner we can begin the restoration process, the sooner you can get your home back.
