Many different types of natural disasters and home catastrophes involve water damage. There is water damage if pipe bursts, a branch breaks a window during a storm and a whole host of other problems that could occur. That’s why water damage restoration is so important. Water can damage many different parts of your home beyond just the upholstery. Even your flooring can be damaged by water since the water gets below the surface of the floor and create the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. If water damage is left uncorrected, it can lead to mold and mildew growing rapidly, which has health and safety implications.
