You might know that contacting a water damage restoration company is important when you're dealing with major water damage in your home, such as if flooding has recently occurred. However, if you are only dealing with minor water damage in your home, you might not think it's that big of a deal. For instance, you may have had a minor plumbing leak that has caused some water to leak in your bathroom or kitchen. However, even if you are dealing with minor water damage, you should treat the issue as a serious problem for these reasons and more.
There Could Be More Damage You Can't See
For one thing, even though it might only look like you are dealing with minor water damage, the damage might be worse than you think. For example, you might be able to see a small amount of visible water damage on the wall or in the cabinet, but there could be more damage behind the walls that are hard for you to see. A water damage restoration professional can take a look and will help you assess just how serious the problem really is.
Mold Can Become an Even Bigger Problem
Mold loves moisture and thrives in moist environments. One thing that you should know is that it does not actually take very much water at all to create the perfect environment for mold to grow and spread. Therefore, there is a good chance that mold will become a problem very soon — if it hasn't already — due to minor water damage in your home. This mold can put your property at risk, can be problematic for indoor air quality and the health of you and the others who are living in your home, and more. Fortunately, a water damage restoration company will both help with getting rid of the moisture that can cause mold to grow in the first place and with getting rid of any existing mold and mold spores that might be found in your home.
It Can Still Cause Serious Property Damage
Even a small amount of water damage will cause serious property damage. For example, just a small amount of water underneath your bathroom sink can make your entire cabinet and floor rot out over time. The sooner that you address the problem, the less damage you will probably have to deal with, and the sooner that you will be able to restore your home and its value.
