3 ways water damage affects your home
Having a water damage situation in your home can be a devastating experience. Even a small water intrusion can cause damages to your home if not properly addressed.
Most water damage situations can be repaired within a few days with drying equipment monitored and placed by a trained professional. Carpets can be dried and cleaned as they can not harbor mold growth being as they are plastic. Cabinets can be dried out in most cases, and so can drywall. Mold can begin to form after about 72 hours, so it’s important to get to the water damage quickly.
