Why should you take immediate action with water damage?

1. Water is a powerful solvent that can dissolve or deteriorate almost any substance.
2. Water is not stationary; it will migrate up walls or across floors and cause further damage before it dries.
3. Mold or fungi can begin growing within three days in a moist environment. Even a small flood or water leak can take weeks to completely dry without the speed of a de-humidification and air movement system.
4. The longer water saturates sheet rock or particle board, the more likely it is to rot.
5. The longer water saturates hard wood, the more likely it is to permanently warp.
6. Watermarks are more likely to remain on some materials like sheet rock, cotton and other natural fibers, and some synthetic cloth the longer the drying process takes.

Bottom line, water is a powerful element that can cause a great deal of damage in a short amount of time to a home or office and its contents.
