As you may know, water or fire damage in your home demands immediate attention. If you fail to have this type of damage repaired quickly, it’ll progressively get worse, causing even more problems in your home. Fire damage is especially harmful, and according to the National Fire Protection Association, local fire departments responded to about 1.35 million fires in 2021 alone. Let’s look at a few reasons why you might want to call in a water or fire restoration business.
If you’ve just purchased a home, you’ll need to make a thorough inspection for any type of previous damage that was not repaired. Some signs that there is a problem could include a musty or damp smell. This usually indicates that there's water damage somewhere in the house. Another sign might be a burned or smoky smell. This would indicate that there might be fire damage in the house. Either way, you want to get off to a good start in your new home, so you’ll want to get any type of restoration work done before moving in or shortly after moving in.
Severe weather events in your area can create a water issue inside your house. You might not even notice water in your home, but if any aspect of your roof was compromised during the storm, then water could be accumulating. Be vigilant after rain storms, hail storms, and snow storms alike. Even small hail damage can eventually lead to water damage and mold.
While storms are the most common cause of water issues, even time alone can wear down your roof and expose your home to water damage. Any time you notice water damage in your home, you should have it addressed with the help of a professional water or fire restoration business as soon as possible. If you spot any leaks, water-damaged wood, mold growth, or other moisture-related problems, you can’t leave these issues to resolve themselves. They don't resolve themselves; they only grow progressively worse over time.
