A home can have water seepage from a variety of causes, with one of the most common causes being builder or contractor negligence. Other common causes are blocked drains and leaking pipes as well as natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes and storms.
Once water damage has been discovered, the first thing you should do is obtain the services of a professional clean up company. The faster the damage is cleaned up and the water probable fixed, the better off your home will be. Water damage is ugly and it can get expensive the more damage it causes. The water from natural disaster or from inside source like your bath or kitchen faucet, once it gets inside the floor and wall joints, under carpeting and tile, there will be damage you can't see.
Dampness under floors and inside walls breed mildew and mold, which not only will rot the structure of your home, but if undetected, will make the air inside your home unhealthy. Even curtains, drapes and furniture get any amount of dampness and it isn't addressed and cleaned up promptly, will breed mildew and mold as well.
The services of a 24/7 professional carpet cleaning service is valuable at times, and the cost of their services is usually covered by homeowner policies. Even if you have a deductible to pay, it is well worth the expense in the long run.
