Even small water damages have the potential to cause serious structural and indoor air quality issues over time. The key to avoiding costly future restoration is to handle every water problem as a real threat to your property. The two primary components of a proper water restoration are: 1 Fast action; and 2 thorough drying. Intrusions of water into your home or place of business can result in mold growth. Water intrusions can result from storm damage, plumbing, long-standing leaks and poor humidity control. Organic materials found inside a building, such as wood, paper, drywall and insulation, provide food sources for mold to flourish. Excessive mold growth can lead to indoor environmental conditions that pose a health threat. You can always trust SERVPRO of Upland/San Antonio Heights to manage all of your water damage needs.
