Water Damage Hotline is here to help you from any further damage to your home or business. Damage from water intrusion can happen when a refrigerator water line breaks or a dishwasher leaks slowly and you do not even know you have damage to your wood floor starts to buckle. Other items to watch out for is hot water heater breaks, a water line bursts under your sink or an outside source like your sprinkler system causes flooding to your home. This may lead to a flooded basement, wet carpet, or a badly leaking ceiling which can lead to black mold if left untreated. After you realize you have damage, your first thought would be to soak up the water with towels and move all your water damaged contents from the room. Wiping up the wet surface on carpet, tile, or wood is not a permanent fix and will only lead to more costly damage such as mold growth. The moisture most likely would have penetrated the surface, which will take professional drying equipment like air movers, dehumidifiers and some type of heat system.

Water Pipes That Are Not Insulated Can Burst In The Winter Causing Water Damage

We know all too well in Colorado Springs (and other cold-weather states), that when freezing weather comes through, our water pipes can burst. This often results in water damage to the structure of our homes, businesses and personal possessions. Exposed water pipes that are not insulated in the attic or north facing exterior walls are particularly prone to bursting. The damage to your home or business due to flooding in the attic can be devastating, but the water will also go through the ceiling at all levels below the attic of your home or business. Keep in mind that if building materials stay wet for a prolonged period of time, the once water damaged attic, that could have been dried in three days or less, can become a mold damaged attic, at which point you would need a professional mold restoration company. At Water Damage Hotline, we commonly see mold damage throughout the entire home or business when it has not been dried properly by a professional restoration company.
