What Happens If Water Damage Is Left Untreated?
When water damage infiltrates your property, it’s important to take immediate action. In situations where property owners are unable to mobilize quickly, either by turning off water sources or calling in experts for restoration services, floods, leaks, and overflows can cause serious damage to property materials and valuable, while also triggering secondary damages that can threaten the health of your property as well as the structural integrity of important building materials. The best way to mitigate these repercussions is with prompt and reliable restoration services.
At Canada’s Restoration Services, we provide emergency restoration of water damage in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton and beyond. Our technicians can reduce the chance of secondary damages. If mold damage does occur, our IICRC-certified team can help you eliminate the infestation and protect your property.
Signs of Secondary Mold Damage
One of the most common side effects of untreated water damage is mold. It can develop in as little as 24 to 48 hours in damp environments, especially in hidden or poorly ventilated areas. Watch for musty odours, visible dark spots on walls or ceilings, peeling paint, warped wood, or unexplained allergy symptoms like sneezing and coughing. These may all point to a growing mold infestation.
When you experience water damage in Ottawa or any other city we serve, don’t wait for mold to spread. Our team at Canada’s Restoration Services is fully equipped to handle both water and mold removal services. We use advanced drying, containment, and remediation methods to eliminate mold at the source and restore your space safely. Acting quickly not only protects your property but also your health.
