Why Water Damage Restoration is important

A delayed start to the water restoration process can lead to areas that have been flooded, posing some severe health risks. If your home has recently been flooded or had another incident where areas were damaged by water, it is important to get things dried out as quickly as possible.

One of the biggest problems is when the water is contaminated. This is typically from things like a sewer backup, toilet overflow or an outside flooding event . In these cases, you are at risk for the bacteria and microorganisms that are in the water. The risk continues once the water is dried out. The bacteria and viruses can remain on surfaces for quite some time.

The moisture left behind when the water recedes provides the perfect environment for mold growth to occur.

Mold can take a toll on your health and can spread quickly from surface to surface. While you may feel that a simple damp spot under a kitchen sink may not be a problem, it can cause mold growth. It’s not uncommon to find mold inside walls and spreading to things like clothing and furniture that were not even near the flooded area.

Water damage can be a long stressful process for the homeowner, but Texan Restoration is always here to help 24/7.
