Floods damage your whole life.

When you experience flood damage it is way more than just a wet carpet!

Here are 5 areas that can sustain major problems and issues when water damage from flooding strikes your home:

Drywall and trim - Drywall can absorb a lot of moisture which will ruin the integrity of your walls. They can also be the perfect breeding ground for mold if left untreated.

Your Foundation - Too much water settling in under and around your home can cause the ground to become unstable and lead to massive cracking your foundation.

Appliances - These are a major item inside your home that gets used on a daily basis. Your appliances can fall victim to floods because they are usually sitting on the ground at some level and water can seep into them and destroy how they work.

Insulation - If your home has a crawl space that is insulated a flood can cause major damage to the insulation and its ability to work effectively. It also can become a safe haven for mold growth!

Furniture - Like your appliances, furniture is present all throughout your home and sits connected to the floor. Although many items of furniture can be cleaned, most pieces become destroyed.
