The duration of water damage depends on various factors, including the extent of the damage, the type of water (clean vs. contaminated), and the temperature and humidity of the environment.
Minor damage can dry within a few days, while extensive damage may require weeks or even months to dry completely.
Water damage can have a wide range of effects on a property, including structural damage, mold growth, and electrical hazards.
Mold begins to grow within 48 hours of water exposure. It can cause respiratory problems, allergies, and other health issues.
Water damage can damage electrical wiring and outlets, creating a fire hazard.
Minor water damage may dry on its own, but it’s essential to address even small leaks to prevent further damage.
For significant water damage, professional Water Damage Restoration services are necessary to ensure proper drying and repair.
