Water penetrates into structural cavities creating trapped pockets of saturation. The detection of water in these areas can often only be discovered with sophisticated moisture detection meters to decrease undetected moisture which will continue to cause damage.

3. Water penetrates into structural cavities creating trapped pockets of
saturation. The detection of water in these areas can often only be
discovered with sophisticated moisture detection meters to decrease
undetected moisture which will continue to cause damage. This damage,
at a minimum, will cause odors. Greater damage will surface when
materials delaminate, shrink, split and further deteriorate to where costly
repairs are required. More than just removing excess water, having the
knowledge and equipment to further dry a home or facility (including
substructure materials) completely back to pre-loss conditions in a
thorough and timely response, will minimize the damage to the structure
and to the contents within. It also helps in preventing the future growth of
mold.

5. When the rain stops and water subsides, flood victims
can follow a few simple steps to reduce property
damage and limit health risks. Flooding occurs when
rising water overflows the natural boundaries of
bodies of water, such as rivers and streams, and flows
across the ground picking up all kinds of
contamination. The water can be contaminated with
soil bacteria, decaying insects, animal droppings, oils
and fluids from roadways, and fertilizers and
pesticides from fields or gardens.
