Common Causes
In Alton, a lot of water damage comes from AC systems. Drain lines clog, drip pans overflow, and water runs into closets, walls, and ceilings. Plumbing leaks under sinks, behind toilets, and at water heaters are also common. Heavy rain and tropical storms can push water through roofs, windows, and doors. Even a small, slow leak can do serious harm over time if nobody notices it. The sooner you find the source, the less there is to dry and repair. That's where water damage restoration starts.
How Drying Works
First, the source of the water is stopped. Standing water is removed, and wet carpet, pads, or drywall that can't be dried may need to come out. Fans and dehumidifiers are used to dry floors, walls, and framing. Moisture levels are checked until the materials are dry. If mold has already started to grow, mold remediation by a TDLR-licensed contractor may also be needed to remove it the right way.
What to Do Right Now
Stop the water if you can by shutting off the main valve or the AC. Turn off power to wet areas if it's safe. Move furniture and valuables to a dry spot. Take photos for your insurance company. Don't use a regular household vacuum on standing water, and stay out of rooms with sagging ceilings. Then call (555) 555-5555 so water damage restoration can start as soon as possible.
When Mold Has Started
If water sat for more than a day or two, mold may already be growing. Look for a musty smell, dark spots, or fuzzy growth on drywall, baseboards, or carpet pads. Drying alone won't remove mold that has already grown. Moldy materials that can't be cleaned have to come out, and the area must be cleaned and dried. Mold remediation for our customers is done by a TDLR-licensed contractor, so the job is handled the right way from start to finish.
