Lowell – The Silent Threat of Corrosion: How Water Damage Weakens Your Home

Water damage doesn’t just soak your carpets—it accelerates corrosion in metal components throughout your home, leading to long-term structural and safety issues.

How Does Water Cause Corrosion?

• Rust Formation – Metal pipes, nails, and framing can rust when exposed to moisture, weakening them over time.
• Electrical Damage – Wiring exposed to water can corrode, leading to electrical failures and even fire risks.
• Appliance Failure – Water exposure can damage metal parts inside furnaces, refrigerators, and water heaters, leading to costly repairs.

IICRC Water Damage Restoration Helps Prevent Corrosion By:

✔ Using Industrial-Grade Dehumidifiers – Removes moisture from hidden spaces before damage occurs.

✔ Applying Rust Inhibitors – Protects metal components from further corrosion.

✔ Conducting Thorough Structural Assessments – Identifies weakened areas before they become safety hazards.

Don’t let water damage age your home faster than it should—learn how to prevent hidden corrosion!
