Leaving water damage untreated long term can be a costly mistake for your home or business. A small leak resulting in what may appear as minor damage can quickly lead to a large-scale mold issue. The end result of even the smallest water damage incident can cost thousands in repairs and place your family or employees as great health risks. Here are just nine of the things you can expect when water damage goes untreated.

As soon as water dampens an item, mold and mildew growth begin in as little as 24 to 48 hours. These substances may not become noticeable until a week or two after they begin growing. By this time, they become well-settled in and difficult to remove.

Mold and mildew can grow on and damage many items in your home including:

• Drywall
• Carpet
• Wallpaper
• Ceiling tiles
• Couches
• Wooden tables, chairs, and other furniture
