Water Damage: Without proper cleanup and restoration, water damage can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and more. This is why it is so important to call a certified water damage repair and cleanup service as soon as possible. It is also important to not take on any cleanup tasks yourself, especially if you do not know the water’s origin.
1. Clean Water: Coming from a leaky roof or broken water pipe, this type of water does not typically present any health risks.
2. Dirty Water: Coming from dishwashers, washing machines, over flowing toilets, and the like, this type of water may require antimicrobial treatment to mitigate any health risks.
3. Severely Contaminated Water: Coming from flooding or broken sewer lines, this type of water is extremely dangerous to one’s health.
Fire & Smoke Damage: As you can imagine, fire damage can be severe, decimating anything in its path. But what many homeowners do not realize is that smoke damage can be just as, if not more devastating. While fire damage is typically contained to a certain area of the home, the smoke finds its way throughout your home, seeping into structural materials.
If left untreated, both fire damage and smoke damage can lead to health problems.
Mold: Mold remediation is important to not only eliminate the overbearing, musty smell from your basement and potential structural damage, but also to keep your family safe and healthy. Mold has been linked to a wide variety of health issues, including asthma, allergies, rashes and sinus infections to pneumonia, skin infections, and much more!
