The water damage restoration experts at Clean Masters are trained and experienced to know that water damage spreads quickly and requires a quick response to prevent the damages done. We respond so quickly to your water damage restoration emergency because we want to:

1. Prevent Water From Spreading

 The first reason water damage requires a fast response is to prevent the water from spreading. Water spreads quickly and easily, following the path of least resistance. When water damage affects your home, it can travel through walls, under floorboards, and around all surrounding materials. When water is allowed to sit, it will begin to saturate everything around it. As structural materials, like wood and drywall, absorb water, they will start to swell. Buckling, cracking, and deterioration will begin to occur once full saturation has been achieved. If water is not extracted and dried completely as quickly as possible, then the water that has spread to the materials that make up your home will cause serious structural damage.

2. Prevent Mold Growth

 In as little as 24 to 48 hours following water damage, mold can begin to grow. Mold requires moisture, a food source, and time to begin growing. When water damage occurs in your home, it provides the perfect environment for mold. When mold grows inside your home, it can lead to serious health symptoms. Mold exposure can cause:

·         Coughing

·         Sneezing

·         Red, watery eyes

·         Runny nose

·         Sore throat

·         Shortness of breath

·         Skin irritation and rashes

·         Fatigue

·         Headaches

When mold grows and reproduces, it does so through spores. Mold spores are microscopic and can travel through the air. This makes everyone in the home susceptible to mold inhalation. Mold restoration requires extensive cleaning and sanitation, and can lead to increased damage. Failing to respond quickly to water damage greatly increases the risk of damage from mold growth and spread.

3. Provide Quick Restoration For Your Home

 Following water damage, you want your home and life to return to normal as quickly as possible. The water damage restoration process is pretty straightforward when it is able to begin immediately. The source of the water can be stopped, water can be extracted, and then drying and de-humidification can begin. If water damage has been allowed to sit and structural damage and mold growth have both occurred, then the restoration process will take much longer. Water logged materials and structures will have to be repaired or even replaced, adding both time and money to the restoration process. Mold will need to be safely removed and then properly treated to prevent its return. These steps are able to be accomplished by restoration teams, but will make the process longer.
