Water damage can be described as an event that occurs when water causes the destruction of property. Cases of rotting or swollen wood, rusting steel, electrical failure, and the build-up of bacteria and mold can all be tied to water damage. Water damage can occur slowly over time, such as often happens in apartment bathrooms or kitchens, or it can occur instantaneously when a pipe bursts or an area is flooded.
Time is of the essence in water damage situations. The first 48 hours are crucial to stop the damage from spreading. At Quality Environmental, Inc., we respond quickly to provide some of the best water damage restoration in Los Angeles.
Water damage to a home or commercial building can occur in any number of ways, including:
The harmful effects of water damage may go far beyond what meets the eye. Water can break down carpeting and wood flooring. If it is left standing for too long, mold will begin to flourish and spread on wood framing.
Mold can break down fibers further and cause wood to rot, compromising the structural integrity of a building. It can also cause health problems for occupants of the building in the future. Water damage repair in Los Angeles can help with rusting and weakening of foundational metal structures, that can lead to further structural damage.
Microscopic mold spores exist nearly everywhere, indoors and out. For this reason, it would be impossible to remove all mold from a home or building. Mold remediation focuses on making a building or home safe from the presence of toxic mold.
Water is essential to our survival in California. Extended droughts and times of intense rain in Southern California has kept the subject of water at the forefront of the news. Ready access to water is a luxury that we can take for granted – more than two billion people in the world do not have clean water at home.
However, as welcome as water is there are places it does not belong. Sinks, pipes, toilets, bathtubs, drains and other fixtures are safe zones. Once water begins to find its way to other places in your home, trouble with water damage follows.
What are the most common causes of water damage in homes? In some communities in Southern California, the combination of drought and wildfires and has destabilized the soil and resulted in devastating damage when the rains finally arrived, as water and mud flood homes.
Even though we’ve seen far too many such incidents in recent years, natural disasters are not the primary cause of water damage in Los Angeles. Serious problems can result from every day events, including:
No matter what the extent of the water damage to your home may be, once you recognize the problem you can’t afford to wait.
If you have been a victim of a flood or mudslide, it’s vital that you clean and dry your home environment as quickly and thoroughly as possible. You can’t afford the risk of dangerous chemical or biological contaminants remaining in your home, or proliferating in stagnating water.

Any event that releases a significant quantity of water into your home deserves an inspection.
