Whether in a home or business, any form or level of water damage can severely impact a property if not attended to immediately. From leaking pipes to a simple drip from a plumbing connection, water mitigation delays can harm the house and its occupants more significantly. 

The Consequences of Delaying

Water mitigation for Dunwoody properties should begin immediately after the first notice of loss, as failure to start can result in more expensive and involved restoration services. Understanding how water impacts your home after even a short exposure window can be crucial:

Water seeps through floors, walls, and roofs, weakening materials. Moisture soaks into drywall like a sponge, causing it to swell and ultimately collapse under its weight. Wood beams rot and decay, deteriorating structural integrity throughout the house. 

  • Mold Development

Mold colonies can form within 24 to 48 hours of encountering water, and the increasing volume of spores spread fast to new spaces. Once mold has seeped deeply into drywall and carpets, removal is more intricate and expensive—if it can even be done at all.

  • Destruction of Furniture and Contents 

Procrastination in mitigation ruins furniture, electronics, vital papers, and sentimental objects. Upholstered furniture, for example, soaks up moisture, causing irreparable harm from staining or mold growth. Similarly, wooden furniture can absorb moisture, warp and swell, and become unsalvageable.
