How Water Damage Effects You and Your Property

12/23/2021 (Permalink)

An unexpected flood, a burst or leaked pipes are just some of the scenarios that can cause water damage to your property. The sudden inundation of water can cause problems to your property.

Effects of Water to Your Property

Water affects various kinds of materials in different ways. Paper, for example, gets soggy or, at worst, disintegrate when soaked for too long. Wood, upon exposure, can become dry and mossy. Varnished furniture can also end up being discolored. Metal gets rusty, and even some plastic materials are prone to the disintegration upon prolonged exposure to water..

Wood, in particular, not only becomes mossy, it can also potentially become a breeding ground for mold and other types of fungi. The humidity indoors brought about by the water damage also makes the environment more susceptible to dust mites and other allergens that can trigger respiratory illnesses.
