Problems Caused by Water Damage

Taking immediate action after water damage is important because of how easily it spreads and causes further damage. In cases of flooding, water follows the path with the least resistance and typically ends up on lower floors. The water is then absorbed by porous materials, such as wood, drywall, carpet, and other building materials.


What results is swelling, discoloration, warping, and even mold growth in the structure of the building. If water damage is untreated for a long period of time, it will weaken the structure of the building and the moisture increases the risk of mold.
