Why Speed Matters

A fast response is critical for minimizing ongoing damage in many emergencies. This is particularly true of water damage. Flooding and other water emergencies that are not mitigated promptly can create numerous problems:

• Spread of water throughout the property
  
• Absorption of water into furniture, walls, floors and other items
  
• Promotion of mold growth
  
  

Water Damage Progression

• Within the first few minutes of a water emergency, water can spread throughout your property. It will also begin to be absorbed into floors, walls, upholstery and contents. Books, photographs, and other paper items will begin to swell and warp. Furniture finishes may bleed, damaging carpets.
  
• In the first 24 hour period, furniture may swell and crack. Drywall will begin to swell and break down. A musty smell may develop. Metal surfaces may tarnish. Ink and dye from clothing and paper goods may cause stains.
  
• Two weeks to 48 hours after a water emergency, mold and mildew growth may become a problem. Metal items may rust and corrode. Paint will begin to blister. Doors, studs, wood flooring, furniture and windows may swell and warp. Biohazard contamination may occur.
  
• After the one week mark, structural safety and contaminants become a concern. The time and expense required to restore property may increase significantly. More property may need to be replaced, rather than restored.
