Whether you have a fully flooded basement or have started to notice smaller signs of water damage in your home, water damage cleanup is a tricky job. For those who live in areas of high humidity, however, water damage restoration can be even more difficult to manage. Humidity, or residual moisture in the air, can make it impossible for existing water damage to improve, causing mold to begin to grow in your home. Water damage restoration can only be effective before mold begins to grow, at which time you’ll need to bring in an entirely different team of specialists to address the issue. 

While many homeowners assume that minor water damage can be put off until they have the time and means to hire a water damage restoration team; the reality is that, when combined with high humidity levels, pre-existing water damage can make for the perfect place for mold to begin to grow. Mold thrives in warm, wet and dark areas, like a dark basement or in your walls and ceiling. By waiting to call for water damage restoration services, you significantly increase the chances of the problem becoming larger and mold wreaking havoc on the health of your family. 

Long-term water damage can lead to the need for some rather significant repairs to your home, including tearing out old floors or parts of your walls to remove the affected area. These problems are certainly enough to cause panic in most homeowners, but what they may not realize is the immediacy involved in getting rid of water damage. After mold begins to grow, the repairs become much more intensive. If humidity in your home has caused mold to sprout all over the water-logged area, you may need to have entire walls ripped out, flooring removed, or the structure of your home remodeled to ensure that the mold is contained and your family’s well-being is preserved.
