Proper Water Damage Restoration

3/28/2017 (Permalink)

   Even small water damages have the potential to cause serious structural and indoor air quality issues over time.  The key to avoiding costly future restoration is to handle every water problem as a real threat to your property. 

Don’t treat flood water in unwanted places lightly: even if your basement only has an inch of water in it, or is even just damp, it is the perfect breeding ground for mold. Mold growth not only ruins walls, furniture, carpets, flooring to name a few.  Mold can cause health effects. Preventing mold growth is key to keeping your home’s air clean and healthy.
