If any event causes water to enter your home or business property, the amount of damage may be hard for you to detect. Water can seep into areas you may not know about, like inside the walls, under baseboards, or in subfloors. To avoid complete and irreparable damage, trained restoration experts should inspect and begin water mitigation immediately. Within the first 48 hours mold could set in and cause even bigger problems.
