Water Damage

Most people know when water is present in materials within a structure:

Visible signs of water damage, drywall wet, carpet saturation, paint blisters, etc.

Odor of mildew, this is typically caused when water mixes with materials, NOT from actual mildew!

Smell of sewer water or fecal matter. This is also covered in the water damage section.

What most people DON’T know is where the water damage is present within the structure and materials, and how far it spread. Even if water was only visible in the carpet, there are materials that are 90% of the time involved, subfloors or concrete, padding, tack strips, wall studs and plates, drywall wicking, insulation, baseboards, etc. Only meters or thermal imaging cameras can detect exactly where water is present.

Once the water is detected and a plan for the type of water has been determined, can we proceed to drying efforts or removal of materials.

If water damage is not reported within 48 hours, you risk mold and mildew contamination and is likely not covered by insurance claims!
