Hardwood damage in Corvallis, Oregon.

When you’re struck with water damage it's best to handle it fast. 

After just a few minutes water damage can...

• Absorbed into walls and floors.
• Water can spread fast throughout your home, damaging everything it comes into contact with. 
• Photos, books, and other personal items begin to swell and warp.

After one, ten, fifteen or twenty four hours of water sitting and soaking in it can cause...

• Drywall to swell.
• Furniture starts to swell and crack.
• Odors become present.

More than 48 hours... 

• Mold may grow.
• Metal starts rusting and corroding.
• Furniture has signs of mold.
• Hardwood floors swell.
• Even biohazard contamination can occur.

Waiting more than a week to get the issue inspected and taken care of can...

• Cause you to pay more. 
• Having to replacing any contaminated materials or structural rebuilding can be pricey.
• With mold, contaminants and structure being a concern at this point, it can cause dangerous risks to the occupants.
