Can Water Damage Decrease Your Home’s Value?

Health hazards and the structural damage might be the immediate issues that spring to mind when a flood unexpectedly hits. Once the dust has settled, however, homeowners are forced to confront how the water damage may impact their home’s value. Water damage has the potential to become the biggest threat to a home’s resale value. This is particularly true if water damage caused by flooding is left unattended.

Waiting for even a brief window to address and resolve water damage will quickly deflate your home’s value — leading to higher repair costs and draining your potential to make a profit in the future

The greatest water-related dent in your home’s value? Mold. Once mold has entered the picture, it can spread rapidly and eat away at your resell potential in no time.

Mold thrives in a damp environment — and flooding can escalate the process and foster a severe mold infestation. Mold infestations of any kind can cause serious health issues and will keep you from reselling your home at all — particularly since you’re required to tell potential buyers about any water damage and existing mold.

If you’ve experienced flooding, don’t wait to notice the telltale signs of mold before calling in the professionals. The sooner you act, the more effectively you’ll be able to protect your home and its value for the future. Our flood cleanup services in Morgan Hill can locate and eradicate any standing water in order to keep your home mold-free and your family safe.

Flood Water and Indoor Air Quality

While homeowners are often concerned with the visible impact of a flood, the unseen effects can be just as dangerous. Flood water creates the perfect breeding ground for mold and bacteria-laden indoor air. You might not see or smell the toxins — but breathing in poor air every day can cause some serious long-term health effects.

Flood water can begin affecting your indoor air quality very quickly. Any furniture items or household structures left wet for more than two days will likely grow moldy. Inhaling mold can cause health effects that range from mild allergic reactions to more serious breathing problems. Flood water can also contain bacteria-laden microorganisms.

In addition, improper cleanup work can bring potentially health-hazardous substances, like carbon monoxide and cleaning products, into your home’s air circulation.
