Water: The Universal Solvent

Water damage is one of the most common causes of structural damage in the United States.

Water cannot dissolve everything, but it can dissolve more substances than any other liquid. Given enough time, water damage destroys even steel and stone. In a typical residence or commercial building, water damage may do any (or all) of the following:

• Rust steel, other metal
• Shred textiles, including upholstery, window coverings, clothing, carpets
• Dissolve drywall and sheet rock
• Warp, weaken, or rot wood
• Delaminate wood or vinyl flooring
• Crack open the grout between tiles, causing the tiles to separate
• Weaken foundations
• Seep into concrete
• Damage electrical wiring
• Ruin appliances or major equipment

Adding to the Damage

Even the cleanest water allows mold and other microbial growth to flourish within 24 to 48 hours. This growth does damage on its own, including:

• Tenacious odors
• Ugly splotching that may be purple, pink, yellow, brown, gray, red, or black
• It literally feeds upon anything organic, including wood, drywall, paint, cotton, wool, and other fabrics
• May cause health effects

If the water damage did not come from clean water (such as from rain or sewage), mold may be present already. The solid and liquid materials in the non-clean water are unpleasant, and they are often damaging on their own.
