The Risks & Ruin Of Water Damage

If you have purchased a home for you and your family, you know just what a wonderful feeling it is. Signing the paperwork, getting the keys, walking into your home for the first time. Buying furniture and setting up your home, inviting friends and family over, really making a place feel like your own. There is nothing like owning a home! There is nothing like the joy and the pride and the excitement of making such a huge purchase that will quite literally change your life. Few things in life evoke the same emotion as a homeowner finding that place that they can call theirs forever.

But with the good comes the very, very bad. When you buy a home, you are opening yourself up for some major headaches. And, unlike the times when you lived in apartments, you can’t just call upon your landlord to fix these issues. No, instead it is up to you and only you. And when some of the biggest problems in life emerge, you need help.

This is definitely true if you are dealing with water damage. Water damage to a home can be very severe and can quite literally ruin your home for years to home. In fact, it can make your new house completely unlivable and can even cause health issues to those living there.That is why you should not handle it by yourself or hope that it just goes away.

What Does Water Damage Do To A Home?

If you haven’t bought a home then you probably don’t know what a pain water and water damage can be. But please believe when you hear that it can have an impact on your house and property that can last quite literally for years.

It doesn’t matter where the water comes from. Whether it be from a storm or a neighbor’s house or a leaky appliance or busted pipe, the damage done by water can be immediate and then can last a lifetime. Obviously, the first thing you will notice about water damage is how it affects your furniture and property. Anything that is touched by water will be affected, and usually for the worse. That means the couch you love to rest on, the pictures that you hold so near and dear to your heart, the clothing that you wear to work – all of it can be ultimately ruined forever by a splash of water.

Then there are also the lasting side effects of water damage that can be really hard to get rid of. You can see signs of water damage in a home, particularly in the wallpaper. Is there bubbling paint that makes everything look bloated and warped? That is the effect of water and it shows that the damage done by a flood or overflowing of liquid is still there and long-lasting.

Of course, perhaps one of the biggest issues related to water damage is the risk of mold growth. With water, mold can begin to grow in wet areas of a home. And the thing about mold is that once it starts to grow, it doesn’t stop. And it can multiple and spread like wildfire in no amount of time at all. That means that in just a short amount of time, the mold in your home can be widespread and severe.

Mold can cause some serious health issues to those living in your home. It can affect the skin, eyes, and the lungs. It is spread by spores and that means that the mold that can quite literally impact your health or even cause you to get very sick is naked to the human eye. You don’t see it. And if you do find some mold in your home, there is no doubt that much more of it is hidden elsewhere in your home.

Unless you call upon professionals, you cannot guarantee that the mold is really taken care of and eliminated. If you attempt to do it on your home, you might not get it all which means that your house and your health could still be at serious risk even if you have gotten the job done.

The truth is that water can be a serious problem to your home, even if you live in sunny and warm Los Angeles and southern California. From leaky pipe to overflowing bathtubs to toilets surging water to flooding and the busted pipes of neighbors or irrigation systems nearby, there is also rampant water that could find your home and make everything soaking wet – and also ruined too.
