Reactic Restoration

There are many reasons and causes of water damage, but the most common ones are usually found within plumbing issues or leaky pipes ready to burst. Of course, there is also Mother Nature, which is an external force we have no control over.

Many people are unaware that mold can grow even without evident water damage, such as flooding or a noticeable leak. Although, mold is likely to increase in your home if you do nothing to reduce the amount of moisture in it or do not resolve the burst or leaking water pipelines. Moisture is ideal for mold growth, which makes water damage the common source of mold development. Mold can travel by air or attach to clothing, shoes, older furniture, pets, and more. It can quickly enter any home through mold spores. In addition, mold reproduces when it releases spores, which it uses to spread across the environment.

Water damage in your wall can cause mold. If mold is growing behind the walls, you may notice a foul odor. Itchy nose, red eyes, and sneezing regularly, and the wall appears to be damp. Other things that can happen are rotting and corrosion. More significantly, water damage to walls can cause electrical damage and fires.

The time it takes for water damage repairs to complete depends on the severity of the damage and how long it will take to dry out. If it is just a single room, it could take less than a month to complete. Regardless of how badly the damage is, it is important to get started with the water cleanup immediately. Once the water has already gotten absorbed into the various components of the house, it can still cause further damage. The drying time for homes affected by water damage varies depending on the type of damage. But usually, those who have suffered from water damage will experience around five days of dry.
