Contact a water damage professional immediately if you encounter water or mold damage in your home.

Water damage within days

• Fungi appear, along with their characteristic musty odors.
• Severe warping and cupping of wood becomes apparent. Wood floors may become unsalvageable.
• Paint blisters, and wallpaper adhesives release and start to peel away.
• Wood structural members begin to swell, warp and split apart.

Water damage within weeks

• Mold sinks roots into organic materials and destroys their integrity.
• Occupants must be evacuated due to health hazards.
• Allergen sensitivity may arise from microbial growth.
• A complete gutting of the structure may be necessary, which will drive the claim up astronomically and displace the occupants.

Water damage escalates to mold and microbial growth issues in just a few days.
