Water Damage and Water Removal Columbus, Ohio
Water is both an extraordinary and desirable substance. Without it, life on planet Earth wouldn’t be sustainable. Water also goes far beyond merely keeping us alive. It tastes great on a hot day, is essential for our morning shower routine, and even keeps our grass and flowers looking their best. Perhaps, this is why it’s so easy to forget, the same H2O that keeps us alive and looking great, can also cause chaos, and damage our homes and belongings.
If you’ve experienced water damage, and you’re unsure how severe the damage goes, it may be time to schedule a water damage inspection.
Sources of Water Damage
Luckily, here in the Greater Columbus, Ohio area, we are at low risk when it comes to weather-related flooding situations. Odds are; no hurricanes or typhoons are going to be headed to our corner of the world anytime soon. However, that doesn’t mean your home or mine is exempt from water damage, and the problems it brings with it. Even without weather-related flooding, there remains a lengthy list of means, via which water can damage and affect us here in Columbus, OH. Here are just a few common circumstances with potential for causing unwanted water intrusion and/or flooding inside your home or place of business.
- Leaking Roof
- Toilet Overflow
- Burst Pipe(s)
- Sump Pump Failure

Why Water Removal Can’t Wait
Unlike mold, insects, smoke, or other unwelcome intrusions, home and business owners don’t usually react with great urgency and concern when it comes to a water issue inside their dwelling.
It’s just a little water, right? and a little water never hurts anyone. Contrary to popular belief, a “little water” has hurt plenty of property owners, and the pain it inflicts is frequently felt right in the wallet or pocketbook.
Once the water has saturated materials such as drywall, upholstery, floor coverings, and cabinetry, the faster you take action the better. Quickly assess the situation, and decide if you are qualified, and properly equipped to tackle the clean-up yourself. If you have any doubt about the extent of damage, or if there is potential for a continued influx of water, call in a professional.
Given the right environment, even a small amount of water can easily result in a dangerous and costly mold and mildew problem. Even if drywall, upholstery or carpeting, feels dry to the touch, it can still be saturated inside, and harboring the perfect environment for mold growth and continued damage.
