The Many Ways Water Can Be Destructive Inside Your home in Encinitas CA

When you think of the word “water,” you don’t automatically tie it with a negative connotation right off the bat. You might think of something positive like hydration, cleanliness, or even a fun activity like swimming or a slip-n-slide.

Let’s be honest, though, with every good thing comes something negative. When it comes to water, it can most definitely involve something not so positive. In terms of a water leak or household flood, you can’t expect anything good. Below are some of the many things they can trigger:

Physical Injuries to Your Loved Ones

Your mom used to warn you not to run on the floor when she just freshly mopped it. There’s a very good reason for this: water is slippery, and when one slips, injuries can result. Even a minor slip can result in serious bruising, broken bones, or even a trip to the E.R. to get stitches.

So, if you have a flood or water leak in your house, you bet that this situation is setting up your family members (and you) at risk of serious physical injuries. Even if you’re careful, water will have you tumbling down quicker than you can even register what’s going on.

The Breakdown of Furniture

Honestly, furniture is expensive – sometimes too expensive. The last thing you want is for your furniture, that offers decoration and provides function for you and your family daily, to be permanently damaged past the point of repair. It’s a costly issue for you as you’ll have to get new furniture. Worst of all, that furniture must be tossed as it won’t just present damaged material but also material that is rotting or harboring bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew, and the like. They love moisture, you know!

Mold and Mildew Growth

Mold and mildew don’t just potentially affect water-damaged furniture but can also grow and breed on walls, among other vital features of the inside of your home from flooring to the basic structures of your house. This is ugly, damaging to every little thing in your home, and can cause respiratory issues for anybody who steps foot inside your home.
