Flooding can become a long-standing problem within your home. Taking the time to immediately call a professional after flood problems is the best course of action recommended by the professionals. In this new post, we’ll explain more about why you should call a West Vancouver emergency water damage restoration company immediately in the wake of a flooding event.

Prevent long-standing damage

The longer that you allow the water to remain in the property, the more damage that can occur throughout the building. Structural elements such as drywall, roofing and floor areas can quickly become degraded after the flood. Take the time now to explore the full range of restoration options before the structure of the building becomes unsafe.

Mitigate high costs

In addition to the safety aspect, you should also consider the high cost of the restoration work should you wait to call a specialist. The cost to replace an entire drywall or roof is far higher than it would be for simply removing furniture and drying the building immediately after the flood. This can affect your insurance rates. There’s also the time to consider in having contractors on site. In cases of saltwater damage, leaving the restoration work till later in the process may mean you’re spending weeks without access to the property.

Prevent mold growth

Beyond the damage to the structure of the property, there’s also the health of the general environment to consider when evaluating an emergency water damage restoration company options in. Mold growth can lead to significant health problems, particularly for those with respiratory challenges, and it’s imperative that any mold issues are identified at the earliest opportunity to mitigate mold growth for the months ahead. Calling in a specialist will allow the company to harness sensors to inspect leaking pipes, wall spaces, and flooring for mold and ensure the mold is removed before it can impact those living in the home.
