When you experience water damage in your home or business, it can be overwhelmingly stressful. Aside from the potential loss of sentimental items and damage to your property- navigating proper restoration from professionals may be the last thing on your mind. When this happens, most people find themselves trying to clean up the mess immediately. Although it’s important to get a jump on the water damage, there are common mistakes that could make things worse that will cause damage to your health, the structure of your property, or both. Here are a few of the most common mistakes West Bay homeowners made when people experience unexpected water damage to their property.
We all at one time or another have spilled something and have had the thought “no big deal, it’s just water!” This is generally true for smaller spills but not so much for larger water damage. If the damage incurred is not treated quickly and effectively, it can create much larger issues like mold, among other things. For many people drying out water damage is a significantly more time-consuming and intensive process than they realize. Without proper drying and cleanup there will be more damage in the long run. That is why it’s so important to reach out to a professional water damage cleaning company like DayStar.
When you find yourself dealing with significant water damage, time is of the essence, and getting your property restored timely is vital to maintaining the structure’s integrity. Unfortunately, even a small amount of water can create significant damage. When not treated quickly and properly water can get underneath walls and floors and seep into the cracks and crevices of your property where it will remain unseen. Water can soak into the building, and it will encourage mold growth if it continues to go undetected. When restoring water damage, the work must be done thoroughly. There are no corners that can be cut, and there are no shortcuts that can be taken. With appropriate drying equipment like a dehumidifier, you can rest easy knowing that your home or business is being taken care of. When not done right, the consequences of taking shortcuts can be severe– from mold growth to the degradation of the building entirely.
One of the biggest mistakes we have seen in this industry that clients make when handling water damage is not involving a restoration company. At Daystar, we highly recommend having an expert come out to the property, get a reading, and assess the damage at the very least. Property owners are always surprised at the extent of the damage that can’t be seen. Our team of experts has the equipment and knowledge to properly assess any damage. Water damage can seem minuscule while simultaneously it has caused widespread damage below the surface.
