Water damage is one of the worst things to happen to a home. It can happen thanks to roof leaks, busted pipes, or even a flooded basement, among other reasons. Whatever the cause of the water damage is, it's important to act quickly to start your home restoration. Here's why you should ensure the damage is dealt with as soon as possible.

To Protect Your Foundation

As you likely know, your foundation is a structure your home is built around. Once the foundation integrity is gone, you can no longer live in that home. If you have a lingering leak that's damaged and caused your foundation to rot over time, it's no longer safe. The earlier you handle your restoration efforts, the more likely you are to save your foundation! Protect the integrity of your home with emergency restoration services.

To Stop Mold in Its Tracks

Imagine how much mold can form on a foundation, drywall, basement floor, or attic that has been damp for a long time. In the experience of our experts, it only takes molds as little as 24 to 72 hours to begin forming in a wet environment. Once you see mold, quickly call mold remediation service professionals. They know how to find all the mold in your home and safely remove it. Even if you don't see mold, you'll feel its presence. For example, if you have an existing respiratory condition that's normally mild, such as asthma, you may begin having more intense and frequent attacks out of the blue. You may also have other allergic reactions as mold spores linger in the air and latch onto your lungs. It can cause other respiratory problems that can make your home uncomfortable and lead to more medical bills.

Any effort you make in your home restoration matters. Water damage can wreak havoc on your health, home structure, and budget. According to Forbes, you should prepare to spend $1,500 and $6,000 on water damage restoration services. Of course, the cost is dependent on the severity of the damage. If you need help dealing with water damage, you need professionals who know what they're doing. Call our team at Cedar Crest Homes, LLC today for further assistance!
