Understanding the Impact of Flood Damage
Flood damage can extend far beyond just water accumulation. Here’s how floods can impact your home:
- Structural Damage: Floodwaters can weaken your home’s foundation and damage walls, flooring, and framing.
- Electrical Hazards: Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. Floods can compromise electrical systems, increasing the risk of fire or shock.
- Mold and Mildew: Standing water encourages mold growth, which can quickly spread and lead to health risks for you and your family.
- Mold and Mildew: Furniture, carpets, and personal items can be ruined if not properly dried and restored.
