If your home is experiencing water damage, it is important to have the problem addressed right away, as it could lead to a myriad of complications. These complications vary from compromising the structural integrity of your home to posing a serious health risk to your family members in the form of respiratory ailments due to mold and fungi. Here are some of the ways to detect potential moisture problems in your household.
Having a house or apartment fire doesn't just involve dealing with items that were burned. Even if the fire was small and concentrated to one area, it can still damage the entire home.

Soot, combined with moisture and other chemicals, can damage and corrode quickly if not addressed.

This ill-informed reaction can lead to a whole host of other problems. Here are three of the biggest mistakes do-it-yourself homeowners tend to make when they are attempting mold removal on their own.
