Professionally Mitigating Water Damage: Why It's Important

11/25/2020 (Permalink)

Building materials that are too saturated to be properly dried can be neatly and effectively removed in order to dry other damaged areas.

Unwanted water intrusion to your home or property is not only inconvenient, it can be severely damaging. It may seem like a simple solution to remedy but it's important to know that even a small amount of water damage can be significant. The flooring may be only the start of areas that have been affected. Here are several other areas of a building that can be affected and therefore would need to be addressed in the mitigation process.

• Interior side of drywall
• Carpet and padding
• Subflooring
• baseboard, commonly made of wood
• Interior section of drywall
• Insulation inside wall cavity
• Wall framing
• Floor joists
• Sheathing
• Basement
• Cabinetry
• Basement or crawlspace

Each of these areas, if not properly mitigated, can become significantly damaged.
