What causes water damage around Shelby
Water damage around Shelby usually starts with roof leaks after wind and hail, tropical storms and heavy summer thunderstorms or high humidity that lets mold start quickly on wet materials. Storm season is longest from June through November, and humid weather means wet materials dry slowly without equipment.
After severe weather, storm and hurricane flood damage cleanup covers what flood water does to a building and how cleanup is sequenced. Humid air slows drying, which makes structural drying and dehumidification an important part of any job.
