Water Damage Restoration Apple Valley
Flooding is a headache for any homeowner. Even though Apple Valley is not subject to the same kind of natural disasters that other parts of the country are, flooding and water damage are both very real and possible emergencies that can happen to anyone. Appliances can break down and cause flooding in rooms. Old pipes that have been structurally weakened over the years can suddenly break down without warning, or have microscopic pinholes that cause leaks underneath concrete foundation (otherwise known as slab leaks). While the first kind of water damage is immediately visible and apparent, slab leaks can cause severe long-term damage until it gets noticed.
For smaller cases, water damage can be a fairly routine thing to fix. Once a technician is on-site at your home, they will begin to immediately start by taking moisture readings, mapping out the wet areas and setting up their equipment in the most optimal placements to suck up excess water, displace air and dehumidify everything. All of these steps are necessary to ensure that the humidity levels in the area are proper for evaporation, as excess moisture will not be properly circulated away. Lingering water will recondense on the surfaces of walls, furniture and everything else in the vicinity, possibly fostering mold growth.
Slab leaks, on the other hand, are not as easy to detect and fix. Since they happen under the surface of concrete and are very small leaks in the pipe, they often go unnoticed for months before homeowners detect something amiss. Usually, the signs of slab leaks are in higher-than-normal water bills, the constant sound of running water and odd places of mold or mildew growth. With this type of water damage there's much more involved than a room leak, as the source can be difficult to get to. Only a professional technician can analyze the site and provide the best ways to alleviate the problem, whether it's redirection or breaking through the concrete.
Water damage is no casual matter, and the difference between a small job and a full-blown reconstruction can be merely hours.
