Water damage can occur at any time and, unfortunately, in many, many places. Whether it’s from a broken appliance, a natural disaster, or a busted pipe- it’s always important to deal with the damage immediately. Water damage happens in Austin, Texas everyday.

The Sooner, The Better

Water can cause some damage if left to stand still for extended periods of time. The water that enters a home during a flood or natural disaster may carry dangerous debris or harmful bacteria. It’s important to take precautions and use safety measures to protect yourself from anything harmful in the water.

Acting quickly also helps to prevent against mold. Mold only needs twenty four hours to grow and begin festering, so make sure you contact the professionals to get in there and clean everything out.

Hand it to the Pros

Speaking of the pros, we know you want to get back in your house, water damage is completely devastating- we completely understand.

Use the Right Equipment

One of the most important things about restoration and cleaning is using the right equipment. When it comes to water damage, if the water is completely dried out, mold can start to grow.
