Water damage in any kind of property can have a number of causes. A few of those are:

• Damaged/ Leaking roof
• Damaged/ Leaking pipe
• Leaking appliances (water heater, refrigerator etc.)
• Natural Disasters, such as; rain storms, hurricanes, floods, etc.
• Leaking HVAC system
• Overflow from tub/ shower
• Overflow from washing machine, dishwasher, and many other appliances.

In simple words, Yes! Anytime you have a flood, be it by any of the reasons above, it’s very important to clean your house and repair the damage before it increases to a dangerous extent.

Let’s take the part on which most people base their decisions; “Money”. Simple answer is, the more you wait, the more expensive the repairing process would get! We highly recommend getting everything dried up or replaced quickly to avoid developing a potentially expensive mold problem.

If we consider from a health point of view, avoiding a mold problem may increase the risk of respiratory diseases and other medical issues. However, there are many other reasons as well than just mold.

We highly recommend hiring a professional restoration company and getting it done as soon as possible instead of wasting your time by doing it on your own.
If you have any reason to suspect mold, we highly recommend you DO NOT attempt to perform clean-up yourself.

Please realize that there are many hidden dangers involved in this kind of work.
