When it comes to your roof, it experiences a lot of abuse from the outdoor elements. So when water begins to penetrate inside, it is a serious problem that can impact the home’s building envelope and lead to health and safety concerns.

What is Water Damage Restoration?
Water damage restoration in Toronto deals with restoring the home to its previous state after a water leak has been detected. It is typically a more extensive process, as building materials that have been impacted by the water will need to be inspected and removed. Then the roofing restoration can begin as the new materials are put into place.
Many Toronto homeowners would like to save on costs by just leaving the wet materials in place and allowing them to dry out. Unfortunately, leaving the wet materials there, even after fixing the roof leak, can promote mold and mildew growth. Once the spores and bacteria penetrates the materials, it can begin to grow and spread, especially in hot and humid areas such as the attic. The mold can then begin to grow on other surfaces and create an unhealthy environment for you and your family. Mold can invade materials such as wood, drywall and even stone.
