When left untreated, water damage can deteriorate building structures, compromise safety, and result in costly repairs. Prompt action is crucial when dealing with water damage in commercial buildings. Any delay in addressing the issue can exacerbate the damage and lead to secondary problems such as mold growth and bacterial contamination.
