Best Answer

Water damage can be easily eliminated if dealt with quickly. The main types of water damage occur in the home after flooding or a leak from a faulty shower, toilet or water basin.

There are some items below that are really handy to get rid of water damage:

  • dehumidifier
  • fans
  • water extraction vacuum
  • iron or blow drier
  • towels
  • cotton swabs
  • blotting papers
  • goggles
  • safety gloves
  • cloths

Important Issues to Watch Out For:

Water damage can also cause mold problems and these issues often occur simultaneously. This is because mold is a type of fungus that needs water to survive. This means that it usually ends up growing in areas with excess moisture, flooding problems or leakages. It is really important to remove water damage and mold issues in your home, but first solve the moisture issues by repairing any leaks. If you don't do this, the mold and water damage will return.

The other thing to consider is the quality of the water that has caused the water damage. If it has bacteria then it may be a problem due to hazardous bacterial growth. This is really important as it is a serious health issue if the water is unsanitary and enters your home. This is especially true for carpets and sometimes it is necessary to dispose of them to remove any risk of human infection.
