Restoring
your property after water damage is a frustrating
experience. Fortunately, natural disasters don't occur
every day, and chances are you'll never have to deal
with water damage from rising water or flooding.
However, simple plumbing leaks or overflows are far more
common. While dealing with water damage may seem fairly
simple (mop or wet vacuum; fans used to promote
evaporation), unfortunately, this fails to consider the
degree to which water can penetrate into structural
cavities and assemblies, creating trapped pockets of
saturation. Too late, property owners become aware of
the on-going effect of this trapped water on structural
and contents materials, which may include:
discoloration, warping, splitting, delamination, and
musty odor and mold growth.
