Water damage is rarely easy to contend with, especially when all you can think of is how much the final bill will be for all the upcoming repairs.

There is much more to these emergency situations than many people realize, namely the fact that if left untreated, the higher than normal moisture levels can lead to the growth of harmful mold and mildew. These substances are known to spread very rapidly and thrive in damp environments.

That being said, you want a contractor who will take the time to thoroughly clean each affected area of your home or office, and test the region multiple times to ensure every drop of water has been dried up. To stress the importance of taking these matters as seriously as they should be, below is a brief overview of the most common effects of water damage.

How water affects your home and business

• Class 1 – light levels of moisture absorption – most furniture and possessions can be salvaged in these situations.
• Class 2 – evaporation rates are a lot faster, meaning carpet, upholstery, and other materials are at a high risk of destruction.
• Class 3 – the fastest rate of evaporation occurs with this class of water damage; as such, the sources tend to be malfunctioning sprinkler systems and burst plumbing lines.
• Class 4 – the worst of the worst, these projects necessitate professional intervention that involves specialty cleaning and restoration work.

To be clear, Peak Construction is completely capable of handling all classes of residential and commercial water damage. To consult our New Paltz water restoration staff, feel free to call or email anytime.
