We respond to water damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Raleigh County.

Since 1999, Shady Spring residents have relied on our local Beckley team of professionals to restore water damage. Fast action is required when dealing with a water damage emergency as water is invasive and it will seep into anything in its path, causing significant damage. Here are some examples of the damage water can do in 24 hours when left unmitigated:

Structural Damage: Water can weaken the structural integrity of a home as it seeps into walls, ceilings, and floors. Wooden components may warp, swell, or rot, compromising their strength and stability.

Mold Growth: Mold spores can begin to flourish in as little as 24 hours in a moist environment. Once established, mold can spread rapidly, causing health concerns and further structural damage.

Electrical Hazards: Water can infiltrate electrical systems and appliances, increasing the risk of electrical fires or short circuits. This poses a significant safety hazard.

Plumbing Issues: Flooding or water leaks can damage plumbing systems, leading to pipe corrosion, joint failure, or blockages.

Flooring Damage: Carpets can become saturated, leading to delamination and potential mold growth. Hardwood floors may warp, and tile grout can erode.

Personal Belongings: Water can ruin furniture, electronics, clothing, and other personal items, resulting in costly replacements.

Insulation and Drywall: Water can permeate insulation and gypsum board (drywall), causing them to lose structural integrity and creating the ideal environment for mold growth.

Odor and Staining: Lingering moisture can produce musty odors and stubborn stains on walls, ceilings, and furnishings.
