How can you determine if property has hidden water damage?

You can check the walls and ceilings for water stains, the floors for warping and buckling, and the pipes for corrosion, leaks, missing grout, and mold. Attics and basements may have damaged flooring, mildew or mold, dampness, and odors. Also, be sure to inspect the exterior of the home for cracked roof tiles, puddles, standing water, and whether the ground is sloping away from the house.

What should I do after a flood or water leak in my home or business?

First, if safe, shut off the utilities in your home to avoid further damage. Don’t enter your home if it has suffered structural damage. Don’t walk through floodwater if electricity hasn’t been turned off, and avoid contaminants. Next, contact a water-damage restoration company, such as PuroClean of Snohomish, as soon as possible. Don’t wait, as water can cause mold and irremediable damage to the wood, walls, and carpet. Then, depending on the extent of the damage and the recommendation of the remediation company, contact your insurance provider to start the claim process.

Can a flooded home or business be salvaged?

There are many variables that determine whether a flooded property can be saved: the amount of water, and even more important, the amount of time the water was in/around the property. Every situation is different, and PuroClean of Snohomish expert restoration professionals can determine what can be salved once one site.

What are the dangers of water damage to homes and businesses?

What are the effects when water floods my home or business?

Water flooding can cause extensive damage including structural damage to walls, floors, and foundations, damage to personal belongings, electrical hazards, and potential health risks from mold and bacteria growth. The longer water sits, the more severe the damage becomes.
