Why Should Water Damage be Resolved Quickly?

There seems to be two types of people in the world: those who treat every situation as an emergency and those who react slower or even procrastinate. If you are in the latter category, you should know that won’t be a good idea if you experience water damage. You need to get on top of water damage restoration quickly. Even a one- or two-day delay can be problematic. Here are the reasons why water damage should be resolved quickly:

• Mold potential- Mold can activate and colonize in just a couple of days when it has the ideal environment. Water damage provides that environment, so it begins quickly and can spread rapidly, resulting in mold remediation costs on top of the water damage costs.
• Added water damage- Building materials, furniture, and other items act like sponges and will continue drawing up the water as time goes by. An inch of water can damage far more than an inch of drywall, for example, if you do not act quickly to get the water removed.
• Delay in getting back to normal- The sooner you call for water damage restoration services, the sooner your life can get back to normal.
• Additional costs- If your home is not inhabitable because of severe water damage, you’ll have costs involved with living elsewhere. The sooner you can get back into your home, the lower your costs will be.
