Water Damage Basics

Whether you have a leaking roof, overflowing toilet, flooded basement, or a mold problem to contend with, one thing is certain: you have water damage. It doesn’t take an epic disaster like Hurricane Katrina to cause major water damage. A single burst pipe in the home or a curious toddler shoving toys in the toilet is all it takes.

So, what should you do? Who should you call?

For minor cases, you may be able to mop up the mess on your own. However, in many cases, you will need professional help. You may not need water extraction and mold remediation service often “maybe once in a lifetime” which makes it difficult to know who to choose. After all, this could be your first experience with flooding.
