Smoke & Water Damage Emergencies

When disaster strikes in the form of smoke or water damage, the aftermath can be overwhelming for both homeowners and business owners. The presence of smoke residue or water intrusion not only affects the structural integrity of your property but can introduce health risks and financial burdens if not promptly addressed. At J.W. Building Maintenance, Inc., we understand these challenges and are here to guide you through the process with expert advice and reliable solutions.

Smoke Damage: Smoke does more than leave a lingering odor. The tiny particles can infiltrate every nook and cranny, settling into walls, furniture, and air ducts. The acidic nature of smoke can further lead to discoloration, corrosion, and stains, which can be costly to remediate if not addressed quickly.

Water Damage: Whether it’s from a burst pipe, storm flooding, or extinguishment efforts after a fire, water can cause significant destruction. Mold growth is almost inevitable if the water isn’t thoroughly extracted and affected areas aren’t dried skillfully. Additionally, water can weaken wood structures, cause metal to rust, and compromise electrical systems.
