HOMEOWNER TRUTH #5: The leak can stop. The damage can keep going. 💧
Stopping the source of a leak is only the first step.
Water can soak into drywall, insulation, subflooring, cabinets, framing and other materials where it may remain long after everything looks dry on the surface.
That trapped moisture can lead to swelling, warping, weakened materials and mold growth if the affected areas are not properly dried.
And unfortunately, you usually can’t tell whether everything is dry just by looking at it or touching the surface.
Professional water mitigation includes using moisture detection equipment to determine where water has traveled, removing materials when necessary and using specialized drying equipment to bring moisture levels back down where they should be.
Fixing the leak stops new water from coming in.
Proper drying helps stop the water that’s already there from causing more damage.
