Water damage in South Bend? Here is what the first 48 hours look like.
This South Bend homeowner walked into the living room and found water coming through the ceiling. Buckets, pots and trash cans were catching what they could. The hardwood floor was taking the rest.
Two days later, the same room looks like the photo on the right:
• ✅ Furniture moved out and the floor covered with protective board
• ✅ Fireplace, light fixtures and built-ins wrapped in plastic
• ✅ The room sealed off from the rest of the house
• ✅ Air movers and a dehumidifier running around the clock
• ✅ Moisture readings taken on the ceiling, walls and floor so nothing gets missed
South Bend has a lot of older homes with original hardwood floors and plaster ceilings. Those materials can often be saved, but only if the drying starts fast. Wait a few days and hardwood cups and buckles, and mold can start growing in as little as 24 to 48 hours.
