The Water Damage caused by Storms
Water is essential to life, but what if it puts your life in danger because of water?
Hurricane Matthew pummeled the East Coast in October 2016. The flooding was extreme in certain areas of eastern North Carolina, and the floods were dangerous. The homes and buildings in the inland regions, like Raleigh, NC were not as badly affected. Raleigh has not been used to Hurricanes so many houses in this area were built for a different storm.
Even the most severe storms can result in best water damage
It doesn’t have to be a major hurricane for water damage to occur. Damage to your home should be evaluated quickly. A broken water pipe, or a ceiling leak may seem like the most obvious damage. But that does not necessarily mean the worst. It is important to contact a water damage company or an expert immediately if your property has been flooded by a storm. This might also not be the most expensive damage to fix.
You can fix your water damage quickly
To avoid flooding due to extreme storms, homeowners should inspect and maintain their homes regularly. Water damage may spread if left unchecked and can become costly to fix. Also, it could lead to mold or rot. The health of both you and your loved ones can be at risk from mold. Rot can cause structural damage and compromise the integrity of the home.
Potential Health Hazards
Water destruction can lead to toxic molds. Mold can lead to short term problems such as fatigue, coughing and rashes. Long-term dangers are more severe. Toxic mould has been associated with various cancers as well as deadly infections and diseases in humans.
Water damage can cause more than just mold. Even being at home is dangerous if your home has structural problems. Walking on wood flooring that has rotted can make it unstable, and even collapse. Repairing this damage is costly, but it could also cause you and your family serious harm.
There are other costs that come with not fixing water damage as quickly
You don’t need to worry about your home being protected if water damages it. The majority of homeowners are insured. You may also find your insurance policy will not pay for the damages caused by storms if the problem isn’t fixed quickly. You should contact an experienced water damage company immediately if you notice a problem. You can choose to fix the problem early on or you can invest a lot of money without the help of insurance companies.
