The Dangers of Water Damage
Water Damage

Allergic reactions consist of painful headaches, disorientation and dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, chronic asthma, rashes and open sores, and chronic fatigue. Even a clean water loss can cause dangerous bacteria and mold to grow if not dried quickly.

carrying termites and insect infestation.
