ONT Restoration Services provides the best water damage cleanup services in the GTA.
Water damage is one of the most common types of damages that can affect your home. They are commonly caused by extreme weather conditions or due to a leakage within your plumbing system. What makes water damage difficult to resolve is due to its ability to affect many of the areas in your home or office at once. Water damages can affect anything from your furniture, floors, carpets and personal belongings. Major water damage can also result in expenses that will only get worse if the damage is left untreated.
What are the most common causes of water damage?
Water damages are commonly caused due to flooding, plumbing leaks, leaking appliances, overflowing sinks/ toilets, burst pipes, sewage backup, leaking roofs and cracks on the foundation of your home. If you recognize that any of these occurences have taken place in your home or workplace, the chances are that you have also experienced water damage.
There are three major types of water damages: clean water, grey water and black water. Clean water damages are typically the result of an overflow in your toilet tank, dishwasher, washing machines, supply lines (etc…) but do not carry as many health risks as the other categories. The second category is grey water damages which are commonly the result of toilet bowl overflow, dishwasher or washing machine discharges and sanitation overflow. Grey water damages are considerably risky in terms of the health effects that it may carry. Finally, black water damage carries the most risk in terms of health concerns. Black water damages are commonly the result of sewage backup and flooding from steams.
How you can prevent water damage for your home:
