Signs of Water Damage inside the Home

The San Diego Water Damage Restoration Contractors’ Association is warning homeowners about the possible destructive effects of water damage at home. According to the industry association, the earlier water damage is nipped in the bud, the lesser the damage, inconvenience and expense is incurred.

Third-Party service ratings website Angie’s List came up with a timeline on how water damage destroys the home structure.

“Water damage escalates to mold and microbial growth issues in just a few days, which can compromise the health of the inhabitants, including your pets. Given these facts, you must begin to clean up a water damage mess as soon as you can to prevent further damage to your home. Most of these challenges are claims that are covered by your homeowner’s insurance policy. Reputable restoration firms work with all insurance companies and file all the paperwork on your behalf so you can focus on what matters most in a time of need.”

HomeAdvisor.com meanwhile underscored the importance of hiring professional help to address water damage in a property. In an example they mentioned in one of their web posts, they mentioned that extensive water damage in the bathroom should at least bring in contractors who can do the restoration job efficiently.

 “In a worst-case scenario, your bathroom might have suffered structural damage, and mold and mildew is present as well. If those are the facts, you’re going to need to call in a general contractor, as well as a mold and mildew remediation specialist, to return your bathroom and home to a safe, usable state. Other than that, assess where the damage is worst and start there.”
