Water Damage Should Not Be In Your Fernandina Beach or North Jacksonville Home

As many water damage restoration experts know, there are numerous situations that can expose your home in Lenoir to the effects of water damage. Irrespective of which situation arises, a weather event or a mechanical breakdown, obtaining professional, expert, water damage repair services from a top company such as SERVPRO will be important. Learn more about areas of your home that can be affected by unwanted water intrusion.  The restoration process can only start after the water has been removed.  

Other Causes and Effects Of Water Damage 

Water damage can result from humidity and leaky roofs. Water that enters your property from leaky roofs indicates that quick repairs to prevent further issues are necessary. Excessive humidity can result in your window frames, ceilings, flooring, floor joists, furniture, and walls discoloring and warping. In a crawl space foundation, installation of permanent dehumidifiers and plastic poly for establishing a vapor barrier may be needed. Minimizing damage caused by water will also lessen the cost to restore. Additionally, water damage can become an ideal location for mold spores to grow and develop into a mold infestation.  Unfortunately, some molds are toxic and can impair the health of your family by causing neurological and respiratory problems. For this reason, a company with the knowledge, equipment and experience, such as SERVPRO, should execute mold remediation.

Appliances

Broken or leaking appliances can generate unwanted water damage. An example would be dishwashers, toilets, or washing machines that leak or overflow. The waste-filled, chemical-laden water, which may be either gray or black water, can give rise to a toxic environment. In this case water removal is the number one priority. Additionally, a refrigerator containing a water filtration system and icemaker may develop hose leaks from the water supply line. If these leaks remain unnoticed for extended periods of time, they can give rise to mold proliferation and damage to the walls, floors, and the foundation.
