Water Damage Reasons

Risks of Water Damage
Water damage causes several detrimental effects on lives and properties. It is best to deal with any event of water damage quickly and decisively. Failure to do so may lead to:
Water has the ability to get into the sub-structure of your building and create structural damage. In severe cases, water damage can even lead to cracks in the walls of your home or office. The secondary effects of water damage can be just as terrible or even worse than the initial catastrophe.
Damp places are the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. If you notice visible mold, do not attempt to remedy the situation yourself. It is better to call the professionals at Silver Lining Property Restoration instead. After a water loss, widespread mold infestation usually follows if the unwanted water is not properly dried out.
Apart from mold and mildew, damp places can also harbor a lot of disease-causing organisms. Inhaling or touching any of these microbes could be very harmful to your health. People and animals living or working in water-logged areas risk exposing themselves to respiratory challenges, skin infections, and a host of other diseases.
Flooded areas pose the real threat of electrocution. There could be loss of life if there is an escape of electric current from sockets or wires. Never step into standing water unless you are absolutely positive that the electricity to the building is completely turned off by the power company (and even then, don’t do it because it is extremely unhygienic). It is imperative that you keep your children and all pets away from water-logged areas as well.
Water damage could also affect the aesthetics of your home or business negatively. Properties affected by water damage usually have damp walls with varying color shades or paint peeling off from the drywall. The cost implications of these problems could become so much greater if you do not handle them swiftly.
Your contents may or may not be able to be salvaged depending on the extent of the water damage. It is not uncommon to recover most of your items after experiencing a water loss, but it is also possible that some of them are damaged beyond repair.
