When a water loss is left unaddressed, even a small amount of water or moisture can cause serious damage to carpets, cabinets, wood, floors, drywall, and wood framing of a house or business. Moisture in the right environment can cause mold spores to start rapidly spreading within 48 hours, affecting air quality. Even if you believe you have soaked up the water, the area might still be wet underneath. Moisture detection equipment is imperative for hidden water in structural materials. Our techs are equipped with moisture meters and thermal cameras. Our experts in water removal in Steamboat Springs, CO can identify all affected areas to prevent future damage.
