About the impacts of water damage
Water infiltration, for example in a basement, can have serious repercussions. What’s more, the effects will tend to increase over time, if nothing is done, or if the repair work is not done properly. Among other things, if the water is not completely removed, moisture can remain in the walls. It is under these conditions that mold can settle, becoming harmful to health.
Your renovation expert will therefore make sure to carry out a hygrometric inspection before starting the work. And what is a hygrometric inspection? It is that of the degree of humidity in the air, quite simply, but in this case it is applied to materials.
How to limit the repercussions of the disaster?
If you can, take a few small steps that could change everything, following a disaster. In the case of water damage, it will be a question of cutting off the power supply, that is to say closing the main valve. Then mop up what you can – of course, sometimes that’s not possible.
One of the tips to follow in all circumstances is to photograph everything you can of the situation. Not only will your photos support your claim to the insurance company, but they will also help you share your demolition and reconstruction needs with your renovation expert. You can also send us a photo of the situation and call us so that our team can support and guide you until we arrive on the scene.
