Flood damage to your Willoughby OH home left unaddressed can lead to more damage

Water can cause extensive damage to your home and can also threaten secondary damage if not properly addressed.

Water from Floods can cause extensive damage to your home. They not only have the ability to saturate and destroy your home and its contents, but can also threaten it with secondary damages such as mold damage. Once the water is gone, you may assume that moping and drying on its own is good enough but depending on the extent of the damage, your home may need more than that.   Quickly addressing water damage greatly reduces secondary damage from occurring.

Water damage left unaddressed may cause mold damage which can occur within 48 to 72 hours after water infiltration. Drywall and flooring are particularly susceptible to water damage due to their porous materials.

A professional restoration company can make sure that all building materials in your home are properly dried thoroughly, cleaned and disinfected efficiently to minimize any secondary damage.  They may also need to be removed due to the extent of the damage.
