When water remains stagnant or isn’t thoroughly dried, it poses significant risks to your property’s structure. If water sits for more than 24-48 hours, it can weaken building materials and compromise structural integrity. Furthermore, standing water creates a conducive environment for mold growth, which not only causes additional damage but also presents health hazards, especially in the form of respiratory issues and allergies, if not addressed within this critical time frame.
It’s important to initiate a damage assessment and restoration process
It is crucial to address water damage promptly and effectively to safeguard your home’s health and hygiene. Water that remains stagnant for over 24-48 hours becomes a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and pathogens, making it unsafe and unsanitary. To prevent these serious risks, it’s important to initiate a damage assessment and restoration process immediately after experiencing water-related issues, ideally within the first 24 hours. Don’t delay; contact us immediately for a swift and professional response to your water damage concerns.
