What causes water damage?

Water damage can occur due to different reasons. Some of them include floods, damaged/leaky pipes, leaky roofs, damaged water-appliances, or sewage system faults. When this happens, the amount of damage done to your property keep growing until the source of the leak gets identified.

Some cases of water damage are unpredictable and uncontrollable, for example, heavy rains and flooding. Others could occur due to negligence or inadequate maintenance; For example, a failure to replace rusted pipes before they start leaking. However, irrespective of the origin, it usually calls for urgent remediation and expert advice.

Heavy Rain Causing Floods

Effects of flooding & water damage

Water damage causes several harmful effects on lives and property. It's best to deal with any case of water damage quickly and decisively. Failure to do so can lead to:

Electrocution

Flooded areas pose the risk of electrocution. There could be loss of life if there is an escape of electric current from sockets or wires. Never step into running water until you are sure that your electricity is off. If you have kids, keep them away from water-logged areas.

Mold Growth

Damp places are the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. If you notice visible mold, do not attempt to get rid of it yourself. It is better to call a professional instead. After water damage, widespread mold infestation usually follows if the water is not dried out well enough.

Infection

Apart from mold and mildew, damp places can also harbor a lot of disease-causing organisms. Touching or inhaling any of these microbes could be very harmful to your health. People living in water-logged areas risk exposing themselves to respiratory challenges, skin infections, and many other diseases.

Structural Damage

Water can even get into the sub-structure of your building and cause structural damage. In severe cases, water damage can even lead to cracks in the walls of your house. The secondary effects of water damage can be just as horrible or even worse than the initial catastrophe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes flooding particularly dangerous?

Stagnant water itself is a cause for many health-related problems because it harbors micro-organisms. Water damage could cause mold growth that would make your environment unappealing and lead to adverse health effects. Apart from contamination, it can also cause severe damage to the electrical system of your house or business. It may even seep into the substructure of the house and damage the foundation. In such situations, the house could become unstable.

Why do I need expert advice?

The experts can gauge the extent of the problem accurately. They have the hands-on experience to deal with the situation. Stagnant water may seem harmless but, it hides several dangers that require expert eyes to notice. For water damage cases, you should always get professional advice.

My water pipe is leaking. Can a plumber resolve the issue?

In the majority of cases, pipe leakage is a minor issue. For more damaging situations, it is better to have the water source turned off and have us start the water mitigation process right away. This will help prevent microbial growth and other secondary damages from happening. Our skilled techniques with moisture meters can detect the water damage and take remedial actions accordingly. A local plumber will at some point come to fix the broken pipe or plumbing-related issue. So, our professional help is your best bet to begin the process.

What are the signs of water damage?

If you observe signs like soaked carpets or rugs, damp walls, peeling paint, mold, and musty odors in your home or office, you should be alert and check the source for water leak. Even a minor leakage can lead to property damage, excessive moisture generation in the affected area, and electrical failure.

How long will it take for my property to dry?

Each item comprises different materials meaning that the amount of time required for drying may vary. However, we use the best methods to ensure that your materials get dried as fast as possible.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover water damage?

It is pertinent to mention that a standard homeowner's insurance policy does not cover water damage due to negligence. Usually, homeowner's insurance provides coverage for sudden and accidental damage such as water heater ruptures or pipe bursts. We do our best to help you navigate the insurance process and understand what to expect.

Can I fix water damage on my own?

When dealing with water damage, you need to be extremely careful to prevent damage to your property. It is not all about drying up the wet walls. It includes complete water extraction and proper drying followed by extensive dehumidification. It also involves cleaning up the affected area and rudimentary structural repair. You can try fixing it if you possess the tools and technical knowledge to assess the degree of damage. However, it is best left to leave the work to professionals.

Can I use my electronic devices during a water damage incident?

Our suggestion is to unplug all your electronic devices during water damage. The reason for this is, during a leakage, electricity can flow through the water and cause an electric shock or damage the device. So, it is safer to keep your devices unplugged.

How much time is it going to take to restore my property after water damage?

Well, it entirely depends upon the level of damage. For minor issues, a day or two might be enough. However, severe cases can take considerably longer. Our trained water damage restoration experts in San Diego will analyze the damaged property and give you an accurate estimation of the timeline you can expect.

Can my property be salvaged?

It depends on the extent of the damage. It is not uncommon to recover most of your items after experiencing water damage. It is also possible that some of them could get damaged beyond repair.
