Flooding Causes Extensive Water Damage to Home in Aitkin?
6/25/2024 (Permalink)
Our local Aitkin, Carlton, and West St. Louis Counties team is a leader in water damage restoration services. Water can flood your property in minutes, swiftly saturating every surface it touches.Walls, floors, upholstery, and belongings quickly absorb the moisture, setting the stage for potential damage. Furniture finishes may bleed, leaving stubborn stains on carpets, while photographs, books, and paper goods begin to swell and distort.
As time passes, the effects of water intrusion become more pronounced. Drywall swells and deteriorates, while metal surfaces tarnish and furniture start to crack. Dyes and inks from fabrics and paper products spread, causing further discoloration, accompanied by the emergence of a musty odor.
Within 48 hours to a week, the risk of mold and mildew growth becomes increasingly concerning. Doors, windows, and studs swell and warp, while metal surfaces succumb to rust and corrosion. The furniture warps and shows signs of mold and paint blisters. Wood flooring becomes distorted, and the potential for severe biohazard contamination becomes real.
After a week, restoration efforts become significantly more challenging. The time and cost involved in replacing contaminated materials and undertaking structural rebuilding may be extensive.
