Water Damage Seattle
"We had some water damage. We cleaned it up and it looks dry. We're good right?!"
Not necessarily. Unfortunately, most building materials are porous, meaning, they have the ability to absorb water like a sponge. Just because something "looks" dry it doesn't mean it is so. For instance, gypsum wallboard, commonly known as drywall, is extremely absorbent. Water has the ability to wick up wallboard in some cases up to four feet if the bottom edge is sitting in water.
This wicking is called "capillary action."
Using the proper tools shown allows our technicians to properly assess building materials for damage.
If you do not have the special inspection tools necessary to evaluate the moisture content of building materials, you should call a professional like DK Environmental for help.
If water-damaged materials are not properly dried (mitigated) it can lead to more serious concerns such as mold or mildew. Mold Remediation is much costlier than a standard water mitigation project.
The sooner you start the drying process, the less potential damage there will be.
