The Dangers of Flood Damage Los Angeles
Flooding is one of the biggest and most dangerous natural disasters that can strike any household. People underestimate the power of water and the damage it is able to leave even when the water recedes. Although a disaster or an accident like a fire can destroy an entire household in the space of a few hours, flooding can cause much more extensive problems and last much longer, causing problems years down the line. Overall, the longer you wait after a flood the more damage your home or business is likely to suffer. Take a look at some of the damaging aspects of flood water damage:
- Murky flood water is filthy and frequently contains different types of bacteria and disease, which can present a major health hazard if not removed quickly
- An increase in the level of water elevates the humidity in your household/business and makes the air unhealthy to breathe
- Flood water often causes the onset of mold throughout the building, a major health hazard that can cause numerous respiratory issues
- Damp and moist air invites different types of insects, such as disease-carrying mosquitoes
- Furniture that has suffered through a flood is generally damaged beyond repair
- Flood water can easily get into the crevices of your building’s walls and compromise the structure of the walls
If you live in the Los Angeles area and you are battling flooding issues, DryMaster is at your disposal for a wide range of flood damage repair services. Once you have identified a flooding issue, you might be wondering what the first step is to resolve this problem. At DryMaster, we recommend contacting your insurance company first to report the damage that has been done and to start the claims process. Next, and especially if the building has been heavily damaged, it is important to report this damage to the local building department. The local authorities will proceed to inspect the structure for safety issues. Then, once the building department has confirmed that the building’s structure is not compromised, it’s important to contact an electrician to determine if the flooding has caused any electrical problems. As you probably know, electrical wiring which has been exposed to water can cause a major safety issue. Once you have completed these steps, it’s important to take photos and videos of the damage because you will be needing these to file a claim with the insurance company. Finally, once all of these steps have been completed, it is time to contact a flood cleaning company like DryMaster. All of these steps need to happen relatively quickly so that as much of your property and belongings as possible can be restored and recovered.
