SERVPRO of Manahawkin Flood Cleanup

A flood in your home can come unexpectedly and cause serious damage. The best advice we can offer is to act quickly. Flood clean-up should begin immediately. Water on the loose tends to travel, often far from its source, wicking and absorbing into everything that will accept it. flooring, cabinets, drywall and given enough time, anything in its path. Waiting leads to secondary damages such as compromised building materials, odors and in some cases, mold. 

We’ve mentioned in our “Mold Season is Coming” blog post that some types of mold are irritants, that may contribute to health issues.  Unattended damage from unwanted water sources is a prime contributor to mold growth in our area. 

Addressing water damage immediately not only prevents mold growth, but also limits the damage caused to your home and belongings. The less time water has to absorb into materials, the easier and less expensive it will be to dry, clean and repair. In some cases, the differences can mean days or months to get back to normal. Immediate action also provides for a better chance of restoring personal items of sentimental value that cannot be replaced.
