Water Damage-24/7

Water damage poses significant dangers to both homes and businesses. Beyond the immediate structural harm caused by flooding and moisture infiltration, there are longer-term consequences that can jeopardize the safety and integrity of the property. Mold and mildew growth, which can occur within as little as 48 hours after water exposure, not only compromise indoor air quality but also pose health risks to occupants, including respiratory issues and allergic reactions. Furthermore, water damage can lead to the deterioration of building materials such as drywall, wood, and metal, potentially weakening the structural integrity of the property over time. Additionally, water damage may also result in electrical hazards, as moisture can seep into wiring and appliances, increasing the risk of short circuits and fires. Addressing water damage promptly with professional restoration services is crucial to mitigate these dangers and prevent further harm to the property and its occupants.

Water Damage is Invasive

Water damage is incredibly invasive. It has the potential to swiftly infiltrate your home, seeping into floors, walls, furniture, and various belongings. At SERVPRO of Bartow, we waste no time in responding to your call, arriving promptly to initiate the water extraction process. This immediate action is crucial in mitigating damage and minimizing cleaning and restoration costs.

First Thing

Water rapidly spreads throughout your property, saturating everything in its path. Absorption occurs into walls, floors, upholstery, and belongings. Furniture finishes may bleed, leading to permanent staining on carpets. Paper goods such as photographs and books begin to swell and warp.

ASAP

Within 24 hours, drywall begins to swell and break down. Metal surfaces start to tarnish. Furniture may swell and crack. Dyes and inks from cloth and paper goods spread, causing staining. A musty odor becomes noticeable.

First Week

Within a week, mold and mildew may begin to grow and spread. Doors, windows, and studs swell and warp. Metal begins to rust and corrode. Furniture warps and shows signs of mold. Paint starts to blister. Wood flooring swells and warps. Serious bio-hazard contamination becomes a possibility.

After a Week

Left unattended long term restoration time and cost escalate significantly; replacing contaminated materials and structural rebuilding may be extensive. Structural safety, mold growth, and bio-hazard contaminants pose serious risks to occupants.
