Water Removal Las Vegas

Water damage can happen without any notice. Whether from a roof leak or plumbing malfunction, water can quickly spread destruction through a house. One of the chief concerns when water is involved is reducing and preventing mold growth. Most materials on the interior of a home are porous and can retain water. Drywall, studs, flooring, and trim can all harbor water and mold. The first concern with water restoration is to dry the area. Damaged material needs to be removed. Any drywall that has come in contact with water should be cut back. All wet areas need to be exposed and dried as quickly as possible. Large fans or dehumidifiers can be helpful in the process.

Once the water has been removed from the damaged areas, any existing mold must be killed. Chlorine based sprays should be used liberally on any exposed areas. This will kill both the mold and any spores in the area. Once the entire mold has been killed, mold blockers are available on the market to prevent any potential further damage.

Water can be devastating to a home. Mold is a huge problem that can arise from any water issue. With the appropriate care and cleanup, a home can be repaired and potential mold issues can be prevented.
