What's The Big Deal? It's Just Water!

From staining and swelling to structural integrity issues, water can cause serious damage to your property.

Understanding where the water came from determines how it's classified and plays a big role in the way cleanup is handled.

Can the area just be dried or will demo and repairs be needed? Can materials be salvaged or do they need to be replaced?

It's also important to understand that what may start out as a Category 1 water loss, can quickly deteriorate into a Category 2 or 3 loss.

The longer it takes to address water damage, the worse the damage will get. Which can mean increased project scopes, higher costs and increased health and safety risks to your people.
