Water damage is a significant problem for homeowners. The reasons are numerous:
- Mold and mildew
- Structural issues such as rotting wood
- Excess humidity in the home
After a flood, leak, or anything else causing increased water and humidity levels, it is important to get your home checked out by a professional and have the damage repaired and the water removed as quickly as possible.
This will help you in many ways:
- Prevention of structural damage
- Decreased humidity levels
- The identification of mold and mildew
- Removal of excess water
- Physical damage inspection
Water removal should be done by a professional using a high quality vacuum and dryers. A thorough cleaning should be done at the same time to remove anything that may have begun to grow or washed into the home.
Dehumidification is the removal of excess humidity in the air. While some humidity is good, floods and leaks can lead to there being too high a humidity level in the home which can lead to breathing problems and damage to electronics.
