Fast action is key to minimizing damage and saving money on water damaged commercial properties in Middle River, MD.

The key to saving money on your water damaged multi-unit commercial complex in Middle River, MD, is to act fast.

A fast response to any water damage is very important, because not only does it help put your tenant at ease and reduces the severity of the water damage, but it also increases the chance for preserving irreplaceable valuables and minimizes the threat of bacterial and mold growth in your apartment or commercial complex. Water damage can quickly become dangerous as well as destroy items and structures in your complex, costing you possibly hundreds to thousands of dollars.

The Benefits of Acting Fast:

• Takes less time and effort to fully achieve dryness
• Drying can occur before microbes begin to multiply
• Lowers the cost of drying
• Less chance of additional damage
• Less items to replace

However, if you fail to act quickly, you increase the risk of the following:

• Delamination (when material fractures into layers)
• Furniture stains
• Rust stains
• Warping floors
• Mold/mildew
• Swelling
• Deterioration of structural components and contents (delamination, etc.)
• Water damage of a Category 1 designation (water is sanitary and does not pose an immediate health effect) can deteriorate into a Category 2 or even Category 3 if not attended to quickly
