Professionally Mitigating Water Damage: Why It's Important

11/25/2020 (Permalink)

Building materials may need to be removed if severely damaged during a water intrusion. Materials such as flooring, drywall & insulation for example.

Unwanted water intrusion to your home or property is not only inconvenient, it can be severely damaging. It may seem like a simple solution to remedy but it's important to know that even a minor water damage can be significant. The flooring may only be the start of the materials that have been affected. Here are some other areas of a property that can be affected and will need to be properly mitigated during the drying process.

• Interior side of drywall
• Carpet and padding
• Subflooring
• baseboard, commonly made of wood
• Interior section of drywall
• Insulation inside wall cavity
• Wall framing
• Floor joists
• Sheathing
• Basement
• Cabinetry
• Basement or crawlspace

Each of these areas, if not professionally mitigated, can become heavily damaged.
