When your water heater leaks or a storm with heavy rain moves through your area, you may find yourself faced with several inches of standing water in your basement. This is one of the most common causes of property damage for homeowners. Not only can it damage your belongings but standing water can also cause a variety of health hazards, especially the longer you let it stand. Fortunately, there is a solution. At Premier Wall Anchor and Waterproofing, we can help get rid of the standing water in your home immediately to help reduce extensive repairs.
Property Damage
Property damage is a major concern and one of the most obvious effects when you’ve had water enter your home. Once inside, water can cause progressive damage, including deterioration of your walls, carpet and floor damage and damage to your furniture. The sooner you call for help, the more likely you are to save your belongings and reduce the repair costs. With more than 13 years of experience, our trained professionals can do whatever it takes to stop any additional water from coming in. Whether you need to repair a crack in your foundation or your foundation is beginning to sink, we can repair the damage.
Standing Water
If you’ve experienced a storm in your area that caused damage, it’s possible there are loose wires near the water in your basement. When water and electricity mix, it can pose serious risks to you and your family, including fire and electrocution. Standing water can also cause an existing foundation to fail, which can put your home’s structure at risk.
When we visit your home to assess the damage, we can locate any live electrical wires and secure the area to ensure your property is safe before the water is gone. Most of our installations take place in a single day, so you don’t have to worry about additional water getting into your home.
Health Advisories
Standing water can become stagnant extremely quickly. This can be a haven for bacteria, especially if the standing water came from a sewage line or an outside source of flooding. This standing water is often referred to as black water, and it may be filled with disease-causing pathogens. At Premier Wall Anchor and Waterproofing, we can deal with the water immediately to prevent any risk to your family and your pets.
It’s also important to keep in mind that water causes moisture below the surface in locations behind main walls and in other locations that aren’t visible by simply looking. This moisture can lead to mold growth, which can aggravate allergies and asthma, especially in young children and individuals with compromised immune systems.
