Water damage from storms, plumbing problems or a leaking roof, is potentially so destructive, it needs to be addressed as quickly and definitively as possible. Especially here in Hillsborough, Sarasota, Pinellas and Manatee Counties, Florida, with our hot and humid weather, the consequences of even a small amount of water damage can rapidly grow to seriously damage your possessions, your home and your health.
Water damage can happen at any time— not just during hurricane season. Burst pipes, leaking water heaters, clogged gutters, blocked drains, malfunctioning sprinkler systems, condensation from AC units and on and on — the causes of water damage are many. But whatever the cause, the consequences can be devastating if the damage isn’t dealt with quickly.
If your home has been flooded with unclean water, either from groundwater, or worse, from water containing sewage, toxins, bacteria, molds and fungi can present a biohazard and your home will need to be sterilized by an experienced and reputable water damage company. Even if your home was flooded by clean water from plumbing pipes, mold can start growing within 24-48 hours and the mold will spread rapidly in our hot, humid climate.
Depending on the extent of the water damage and the length of time it has been allowed to sit, the consequences can be minor or extremely substantial. Even a small leak, can build over time into serious damage to the contents or structure of your home. By the time you see a bulging damp ceiling or drywall, the damage has most likely been building up for a while. Not only is there the risk of the ceiling collapsing, there is probably mold as well. Wood posts, beams and flooring will also easily absorb moisture and if not addressed promptly, will warp, rot and grow mold. In load-bearing beams, this can cause structural instability. Wet, upholstered furniture and carpet are a perfect breeding ground for mold.
