Many of us have suffered water damage at some point in our lives or know someone who has. It can be devastating, unexpected, and very problematic.

Water damage is a hazard and happens a lot more often than you might imagine. One of the worst effects of water damage is the growth and spreading of mold and mildew. Water-logged areas can see mold growth after a couple of days.

Some causes of water removal services can be needed in a home or commercial building include

• Broken or leaking plumbing
• Clogged toilets
• Leaking roof
• Faulty or malfunctioning appliances
• Issues with HVACs (heating, ventilating and air conditioning units)
• Natural disasters/weather related
