Hollywood Restoration Expert - Flood Damage Restoration
Why immediate flood damage restoration is vital?
Electrical hazards: Loose ends of cables and live wires in the water may result in electrocution, which is unsafe and life-threatening. It is important to switch off the mains with immediate effect after the flood so that any unwanted issues related to short circuit or electrical malfunction do not crop up.
Contamination: Standing water eventually gets contaminated if not drained off soon. It becomes a breeding ground for bacteria posing threat to your health. Dirty water overflowing from drains or toilets is unhygienic, causing diseases that could be fatal.
Mold growth: Moisture in the walls or flooring and other building materials provide food for the mold to further latch on to your property and gradually eat it up. Thus your precious property can get destroyed.
Weakens structure: The soundness of your building can even face a setback when flooded. The intensity of the flood triggers more damage to your property. If water seeps deeper due to heavy flood, it can affect the foundation pilings, cause damage to the entire structure of the house, crack walls and make it brittle.
