Water damage need not leave one perplexed

In a world that is plagued by uncertainties, one can never be too sure about the safety of one’s properties, especially one’s commercial or residential properties. The place of dwelling is often vulnerable to some form of damage or the other and of all this water damage is a major concern. Water damage can be defined as damage caused due to an overflow or unprecedented leak of water facilities which lead to excessive damage such as rotting of wood, growth of moss and mold, de-lamination of wood enclosures, rusting of metal panels and so on apart from the physical damage caused to various household or commercial articles.

There are many water damage service companies that one can access in the Atlanta GA area and these services are available round the clock. This kind of damage is caused primarily in two ways (1) by slow water soaking, stagnation and so on or (2) by instantaneous conditions such as a flood. The companies that cater to servicing these damages will be able to handle both types of damage. Whether the damage has occurred in commercial or residential properties, it must be controlled within 48 hours of its occurrence.

Water damage is caused by three types of water:

Category 1 water –this is water which is clean water and does not pose any danger to inhabitants, typically supply line breaks cause damages in this case

Category 2 water – this category of water is grey in color and contains physical, chemical and biological impurities

Category 3 water – this is black water usually sewage, sea or unsanitary overflow of water

There are services that deal with all three categories of water damage effectively and ensure that the residents are kept free from the anxiety of water borne diseases, contaminations and infections from affecting them.
