Even though the storms are often short lived, the impact they bring is really starting to add up. Fires from the severe lightning strikes. Roof, siding, and landscape damage from the hail. And of course water damage from flooding associated with this much rain.
What to do if you experience water damage
If your home has sustained water damage from the latest storms, where do you go from here? How do you make sure you stop it for future storms, and correct the problems so further damage doesn’t occur?
Surviving water damage
Start by calling a water damage expert, like Pure Restore. If water is making it into your home, it may be causing damage you can see – and damage you can’t.
When water penetrates wall boards and sub-flooring, you may begin to see damage as it seeps into your home. This is the damage you can see. But in many cases it’s also causing damage you can’t see. Mold can begin to grow very quickly. And depending on its area and point of origin, you may not see it until it becomes a large problem.
A water damage expert will be able to help you:
- Assess your damage. Find out where the problem is originating from, and fix the problem to prevent future destruction.
- Clean up your current water damage to avoid problems in the future.
- Look for mold. Mold can be the start of a much bigger problem, including health issues, so it’s important to find it as quickly as possible and eradicate it quickly.
