Causes & Dangers of Water Damage In Your Home

Water damage can be caused by many factors such as natural disasters and floods, or more commonly by indoor plumbing failures such as leakage and burst pipes.

When the water accumulates in an area it will soak through most materials. This can severely compromise the structural integrity of your property. Wood will expand, warp, buckle and rot. Dry walls can sag and fall apart. Saturated carpets can experience delamination, which may need to be replaced.

If water reaches electrical outlets there can be risk of electric shock or short circuiting.

On top of this, depending on how contaminated the water is it can carry bacteria, viruses, and other microbes that may create serious health problems.

Mould is also a serious issue and I highly recommend you watch our other videos on this topic to find out why mould is so dangerous and how it can be removed.

As a guide, the longer your property has been soaked in water, the more contaminants and structural damage will have occurred.

Used for some mould removal at work. They were easy to deal with and communication was always quick. We are in the CBD which I know can be annoying for trades, but they never made a fuss about it. Glen was very helpful.

Absolutely Awesome Team! Dave came to my rescue after calling him when we discovered 2 days before moving into our new rental home there was mould throughout the house.He arrived first thing in the morning the next day and was very thorough, … More professional and understanding of my stress especially having an immune compromised family member.Dave was very supportive and explained the whole process to me and he arranged for his team to arrive the next day. A team of very highly experienced people. They did an absolutely amazing job .When I walked into the house when the team were just about finished cleaning after the mould treatment, I could just feel how clean it was they didn’t miss a spot, every inch of the house was attended to.I was totally overwhelmed by their professionalism and attention to detail.I don’t generally do google reviews but this company definitely deserves it. I highly recommend them .
