When it comes to disasters that can befall your Lancaster, PA, home, water damage seems, on the surface, less dramatic than some of the others. Water damage usually doesn’t involve raging fires or explosions, but sometimes the little damage that lingers ends up costing more in the long run. And, even if it doesn’t impact your wallet, it can still cost you your sanity as a homeowner. The ServiceMaster Fire & Water Clean Up water damage repair experts understand that damage doesn’t always mean destruction, and water damage can be the most frustrating, long lasting damage of all.
Water damage stains manifest and tend to stick around because water is a very efficient carrier. Even the clearest water carries sediment and minerals wherever it goes, and anything that can absorb water also gets a taste of that residue. Plus, it’s probably fair to assume that water damage isn’t always going to involve perfectly clear water. This means that staining and leftover discoloration are common side effects.
If a stain has formed on your walls or in any part of your home, it can be hard to remove without a lot of effort and a good amount of luck. This is especially true if the water damage penetrated deep into the fibrous materials that make up your house. The fact of the matter is that if water gets anywhere in your home that it isn’t supposed to be, there’s a chance there’s going to be evidence left behind, and that evidence can only be effectively dealt with by water damage repair professionals.
Water damage doesn’t always do structural damage, but it often leaves a trail of where it’s been.
