Immediate Action Minimizes the Damage
When you’re feeling under the weather, it’s best to act quickly to combat whatever illness you’re dealing with, and the same goes for disasters. Whenever dealing with a disaster, immediate action is always best, and water-related disasters, in particular, are no different.
When water enters a property, drywall, hardwood flooring, insulation, and other porous building materials will absorb it. They will continue to absorb any excess water and moisture as long as it is present, and this will allow the damage to worsen. The materials will become stained, weakened, rotted, and structurally unstable, putting your property’s structural integrity in jeopardy.
Within 24 hours of the initial water damage, mold can develop because the excess water creates ideal conditions for mold growth. As long as the moisture remains, the mold can worsen and spread because it continues to have the water it needs to thrive. The presence of mold in your home or business is problematic because mold can cause structural damage and health problems to anyone exposed to the fungus.
Without an immediate response, water damage will worsen until it can be properly handled. If the water comes from an internal issue, you may find that you are unable to stop the source. This allows the water to continue pouring into your home or business, leaving you helpless until someone can come and assist you. Even if you resolve the issue of the water source, the damaged materials will still be left in a vulnerable, damaged state. But with 24/7 services, water damage can be addressed in a prompt manner. You can reach out and request restoration help no matter the time of the day or year, thus minimizing the amount of damage done to your residential or commercial property.
Disasters Can Happen at Any Moment
From birthdays to the Fourth of July to Christmas, there are numerous holidays and events that happen throughout the year. People invite family and friends over to celebrate and have fun together. During the holiday season in particular, you might be preparing your home for family and friends that you have invited. You may even have guests staying in your home.
Disasters don’t take time off, so emergencies can happen at any time — even at inconvenient times, such as when you’re celebrating with your loved ones or when you’re asleep in the middle of the night.
During the holidays, people cook more frequently, preparing food for parties and get-togethers. When cooking, there’s always the risk of a fire to consider, and fires can result in water damage due to firefighting efforts. Your dishwasher, washing machine, or even the bathtub may overflow when you need it most. During the winter, your pipes can freeze and burst if not properly insulated or if other measures haven’t been taken to prevent such an occurrence. These events can ruin your plans, but they can be dealt with in an efficient manner with water damage restoration services that are available on a 24/7 basis.
