Severe Property Damage
From flooring and drywall to the building’s actual wood structure, every aspect of a property is susceptible to water damage. As it sits on or in surfaces, water can cause them to become weak, warped, brittle, and softened. Pipes that have leaked or dripped may become corroded and will need to be cut out and replaced. If water comes into contact with any electrical outlets or wiring, it could damage the entire system, calling for an immediate inspection and possible replacement. Elements that support the structure, such as bricks or concrete, may suffer water damage and therefore compromise the structure in its entirety. Lastly, as water seeps into flooring and walls, it leaves behind unsightly stains, and even worse, musty odors and mildew, which pose a serious threat to one’s health.
Serious Health Concerns
Different types of water can contain different types of contaminants, such as dirt, toxins, chemicals, bacteria, and beyond. Water from a slow drip can be just as hazardous to your health as a significant flood, as the water from the pipe drip may contain chemicals and the water from the flood may contain dirt. Additionally, moisture from untreated water can attract a surplus of unwanted repercussions, including bugs—who look for moist areas to lay and hatch their eggs, fungus, mold, and mildew—all of which thrive in humid conditions and can cause respiratory infections, allergies, and other chronic conditions.
