Whether you hit an old water pipe in a house you’re renovating or found some old ceiling water damage, you might be wondering if you really need to take the time to repair the damage or just wait for it to dry out.
Here are a few points that will help you to understand why it’s better to repair ceiling water damage as soon as you recognize it rather than waiting for it to dry out.
- Water Spreads: If it’s recent water damage, it’s likely that the ceiling is still very wet. Water will easily spread from one location to the other—to the wall, for example—before it dries completely. You can rely on us at Ault Restoration to remove all the excess water effectively and efficiently with our vacuums, pumps, fans, and dehumidifiers.
- There Could Be Hidden Issues: If it’s old ceiling water damage that you found during your project, you might be tempted to work around it instead of addressing it. However, there could be hidden issues like mold or mildew beneath the surface materials of the ceiling. It will be better for the health of your crew and your clients to remove and/or treat the affected area instead.
- Make It Look Like New: Your goal in your renovation project is likely to make the building look better. By allowing us to address and repair the water damage, you are also allowing us to help you make that spot in the building look new again.
No matter the extent of the ceiling water damage you find, you can count on us to repair and clean it effectively and efficiently. We will do everything necessary to clear away any signs of damage or mold, so you can get back to work and on schedule in no time. You can give us a call if you would like to learn more.
