If you live in an area that receives a healthy amount of rainfall throughout the year then you are familiar with the chance of a flood rolling through your neighborhood. While some home owners will never experience their home being flooded, many will experience first hand what it is like to have a flood come into their home and damage their property. Many home owners that experience a flood are surprised at just how much damage a flood can cause to their home. It is important to become familiar with what type of damage a flood can inflict on your home and how to deal with it in a way that will keep you and your family safe.

Immediate Water Extraction Prevents Structural Damage

One of the most important pieces of your home is the foundation and a flood has potential to damage the foundation of your home that will lead to an ongoing list of issues that you will be left to deal with and repair. If the foundation of your home is damaged, cracks can occur, causing issues with your flooring and even your roof. It is most important that you call a professional service like Steam Green Carpet Cleaning to extract the standing water before foundation problems occur.

Mold Removal & Remediation After a Flood

Carpet in the home is one of the most commonly damaged areas after a flood. Carpet can soak up a great deal of flood water before it starts to float on the surface, so you may have more water in your home than you realize after a flood. If water is not completely removed from your carpet, its padding and the foundation, the chance of mold and mildew growing within the walls of your home has just sky rocketed. Removing water from carpet quickly can eliminate the costly need to entirely replace it!
