  • Comments Off on The Dangers of Unseen Water Damage
Water Damage
Water damage can be a tricky household occurrence. Because pipes run behind your walls, it’s likely that water can be leaking and causing damage for a while without you even knowing it. Unseen water damage can wreak havoc on a home. Water restoration in Roswell, NM, begins with understanding the threats water damage can cause and how that damage can worsen over time. Getting your home checked regularly can help prevent the dangers unseen water can cause.

Mold

Mold is the most potent threat unseen water damage poses. Mold comes in a variety of species, some more hazardous than others. Water damage creates the perfect environment for mold to grow in, as moisture is necessary for mold to expand. No matter the temperature, as long as a location is wet, mold can grow. The longer mold is left to sit in your home, the more damage it can cause to your house and your health. Mold can create allergic reactions in most people, and certain spores can even cause severe infections. Just because the water damage is contained behind your walls doesn’t mean the mold is, too. Spores can travel through air ducts and pipes, spreading throughout your home and causing more damage along the way.

Structural Damage

There are several ways that water damage can weaken your home’s structural integrity over time. If left to drip or spread on wood, the water can naturally work away at it, causing the supports of your home to become less sturdy and possibly even breakable. Water and mold also attract pests to your home. Pests that feed on mold, mildew, and softened wood can work away at your home’s structure. Additionally, pests can also move throughout your home, leaving behind biohazardous waste.

Electrical Concerns

Pipes aren’t the only things that run behind your walls. Your home’s electrical wiring is also back there. When your home has a leak, flood, or burst pipe, there’s always the chance of the water mixing with your wires. Anytime you use an electrical appliance, you run the risk of a short or shock. If there’s unseen water damage in your home, you could be facing unknown dangers when you dry your hair or plug in your toaster. Although more safety measures are being used these days to ensure an unknown leak doesn’t put your electricity at risk, there’s always a possibility, especially in older homes. Water damage can cause a lot of problems in your home. Unfortunately, the longer water sits, the more damage it causes. If your home has a leak or burst pipe you’re unaware of, you could be facing mold, structural damages, and even electrical problems. Having inspections and getting damages restored as soon as they’re found is paramount to keeping your home and family safe. If you need water restoration in Roswell, NM, call Pro Steamer Cleaning and Restoration at (575) 623-0993. Our trained and certified water restoration specialists are standing by 24/7, ready to help.
